Simply pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3 (or one of the other function keys will switch you to a terminal where you can log in and perform work. Depending on your distro, the X server is already running on one of the terminals; just press Ctrl+Alt and one of the function keys until you find it to switch back. On Ubuntu and Debian, this should be F7.

What is X-Windows on a Linux system?
"X-Windows", the "X server", or simply "X", is a special server designed for displaying graphics on a terminal or workstation. Originally, a more powerful server would run the applications, and a less powerful computer would just display the graphics. On today's Linux installations, the graphics server and the graphics are displayed on the same machine. For simplicity's sake, just think of it as running a remote desktop session to your own computer.

Is Linux a multi-tasking operating system?
Answer:Yes.NOTE:Linux is not only multi-tasking, it is also multi-user. This means two people or two hundred people may be logged into a Linux server simultaneously, each of those logged in users may be running multiple tasks, each may simultaneously have a fully graphical desktop environment, all with a single server. It is not necessary for those users to each have a desktop PC to enjoy their graphical environments with X-Windows and XDMCP, a thin client or X-Windows terminal is sufficient. If desktop PCs are available and are equipped with an X Windows server, their desktop PCs can also function as X-Windows desktops to the Linux server while also running their favorite desktop Operating System (MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Apple OSX etc.).
When people describe client-server architecture they are usually referring to a system in which a large server is serving a client on a PC With X Window the reverse is frequently the case Explain?

There is no such thing as a "Linux" network. Linux uses the standard TCP/IP protocol for most modern networking purposes. This protocol is also used on Windows and Mac OS X. On any network with a working DHCP server the process is as simple as connecting to the router.
