A program that provides a command line interface is called a ''shell'' and is loaded when a user logs in to a system. The default shell in Slackware is called ''Bash'' (Bourne-again shell). Although other shells will be briefly discussed in [[howtos:cli_manual:shells|Chapter 3]], the CLI manual will focus predominantly on Bash, the most common shell on today's Linux systems. Once you've started the X window system, you can access the shell via ''virtual terminals'' which can be opened by pressing <key>Alt</key>+<key>F2</key> through <key>F6</key> (the 7th being the current X session). | A program that provides a command line interface is called a ''shell'' and is loaded when a user logs in to a system.
