This screen shot is a screen shot of the command line behind Ubuntu Linux 8.04-LTS. In this day and age most desktop users don't ever need the command line, but it comes in really handy and tends to be faster than a graphical user interface once you get used to it. What makes this screen shot pretty interesting is that the resolution of this command line is 1024x768. The font is not the standard blocky font. Using a program called startupmanager you can modify the resolution of the "framebuffer" where the command line resides:

sudo apt-get install startupmanager
