Where is command-line ubuntu?

You have two command-line options is ubuntu: 1) terminal emulator in a fancy window or 2) the old school virtual terminal. 1) the terminal emulator is a normal window on your desktop that you type commands into. To open it in ubuntu 13.04, just type "terminal" into the search bar (hit ubuntu symbol in top left corner to get it) and click on the terminal icon. 2) The old school version has the advantage of not running in the current graphical desktop, useful if the desktop dies or you want to remove distraction. You normal have 7 virtual terminal at startup. They can be accessed using the key combo "ctrl-alt-Fx" where x is a number 1-6. The 7th virtual terminal is running you graphical desktop, this can be re-accessed by type alt-ctrl-F7 from any virtual terminal. For beginners I suggest using 1. For people who want a true terminal experience, use 2.
