Hello bakunin,
Thank you for the detailed answer. I can try to reformulate my question based on your response.
So I am running a linux box using the classical terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1-F6), the machine has an x-window system installed as well, which I do not want to use to launch programs. The scenario that I was thinking of was to launch a graphical program from one of these classical terminals. I was wondering, since I have x-window installed, it must be possible to create a window on top of the classical terminal somehow. I hope my question makes more sense now?
Thanks.
