The Console is commonly the well known black window in which the user can write in the command line. It is actually a very powerful tool which can complement the graphic utilities on the system.
The Console is often also known as the "Terminal" or "Shell". Technically, the Console is a combination of a "Terminal" and a "Shell". Usually the two terms are used as synonyms.

How to access the Console
In Debian, there are already six default virtual Consoles ready to be used. They all can be accessed using the key combination Ctrl + Alt + FN#Console. For example, the Console #3 is accessed by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F3.
Note The Console #7 is usually allocated to the graphical environment (Xorg, etc.).
Another method is to use a graphic display terminal within your desktop environment.
Under GNOME: Applications> System Tools> Terminal
or the keyboard shortcut Alt + F2 for "Run Application" and type "gnome-terminal"
Under KDE K> System> Terminal (Konsole)
- Locking the console
