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.
