You can also use Ctrl-Alt-F1 through to Ctrl-Alt-F6 *from* Gnome to 
toggle the other 6 terminals (tty1-6).... tty1 is the console and the 
others are just basic shells... to return to Gnome Ctrl-Alt-F7 is your 
friend.

However, I am not sure about this "emulate Unix" concept... if you 
really want a Unix experience then you're probably better forgetting 
Linux altogether and installing Unix or something derived from Unix...

FreeBSD is a Unix operating system that is free and runs on intel 
processors... it is derived from the original Berkeley Unix that was 
released back in the early 70s...

There are also other BSD derivatives out there, but haven't used them 
personally...

http://www.openbsd.org/
http://www.netbsd.org/

etc.
