I found it really useful to use konqueror, public-key auth for ssh, and sftp:// 
urls for editing
remotely hosted files (e.g. php scripts).

edit /etc/inittab, search for section TERMINALS

may attention ;)

mine is:

# TERMINALS
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
c7:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty7 linux
c8:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty8 linux
c9:12345:respawn:/root/mingetty --mprl tty9

The last one is a mprl-patched mingetty. mprl is available at 
http://www.buanzo.com.ar/eng/ (middle
of the page) or at http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/mprl/

I wrote it because I didn't use X and I used to switch to another console, 
login locally, then ssh
to a remote host. With this, you can avoid the local login, and just supply 
something like:

ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED] at the Login: prompt of the text console.

If anyone is more interested in the mprl-enhanced mingetty, just let me know 
and I'll release it.
