There are several ways to get to a shell interface in Linux. Three of the most common are the shell prompt, Terminal window, and virtual console, which you learn more about in the following sections.

To start, boot up your Linux system. On your screen, you should see either a graphical login screen or a plain-text login prompt similar to the following:

 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 8.0 (Ootpa) Kernel 4.18.0-42.el8.x86_64 on an X86 mylinuxhost login:

In either case, you should log in with a regular user account. If you have a plain-text login prompt, continue to the next section, “Using the shell prompt.” If you log in through a graphical screen, go to the section “Using a Terminal window” to see how to access a shell from the desktop. In either case, you can access more shells as described in the section “Using virtual consoles,” which appears shortly in this chapter.
