If you want the messages readily available on the console & the machine has its own monitor (not a remote connection) ....
It took me a few years to realise this.. multiple terminals without X Just open out a new virtual screen/terminal. Alt +F1 would most likely be the console Alt+F2 would be another screen/terminal. Alt+F3 would be another screen etc up perhaps Alt+F6 So you don't need X windows to have mutiple terminals.
