That would be a waste of CPU cycles. -This means, if naïvely used, that if you start your computer, -log in on -.BR tty1 , -and start -.BR X , -and have -.B startx -configured to start -.B X -on the next available VT. -.B X -will start on VT\ 2. This is probably not want you want. -Instead you should edit -.B startx -to ensure that a VT lower than a preferred number -(customarily 7) will not be used. -.SH RATIONALE -It is nice to have a score or two of TTY:s available. However, -starting them, can require some unnecessary CPU time and will -was memory until they are actually used.
