Absolutely correct. I finally moved my laptop to OpenBSD because I had unbelievable situation with Ubuntu - X crashed and I got open shell on tty1... and what is even more crazy, once I got open root shell on tty1 (it crashed when I was having local root shell in xterm). I'm not sure what is a cause but having encrypted disk with this kind of issue doesn't make any sence; then I moved to OpenBSD which doesn't advertise how much seconds it saved when booting into X, but it does take care about security (see OpenBSD devs' presentations about X security). And this is most important for me. That was also the reason I have discovered UNIX world ;) jirib
