From what I know it seems that there are many ways to access the shell on Linux. So far the methods I know are:To use a program such as Terminal or KonsoleTo use the shortcuts CTRL + ALT + F1-6To disable X and boot straight into the command lineTo SSH inWhat are the differences between these methods? Are there any more ways of accessing the shell  on Linux? Apologies if this is a noob question :S
What's the difference between these ways of accessing the shell?
