Getting out of command prompt
 
How do I get out of the command prompt without restarting my computer? Is that what it is called, the command prompt? Is it the same as the shell and gui?

type "exit"?

or if you exited the gui and want to know how to get back in type "startx"

Anyone?

What error did you get when you typed startx? Most likely your XWindows configuration isn't set quite right and you'll need to fix whatever the problem is. Also look in /var/log/XFree86.log for more details.
