If you like that, then you should look into screen.  You can start
screen up, with

screen bash

then to create a new VT, press ctrl-a then c.  And create more of them
the same way with ctrl-a then c.  You can switch back and forth
between them using ctrl-a and then the number of the VT.  For example,
to get back to the first one that you've created, it would be ctrl-a
then 0 (zero).  To get back to the last VT that you were just in, it's
ctrl-a then a.

An invaluable tool when you're ssh'd into a server and don't want to
open up another window if you need another login
