Hi everyone,

Just a quick tip, if you out to try 2.6 test, dont forget to enable Unix PTY support and /dev/pts pseudo file system, otherwise by default you wont be able to open any of the virtual terminals (other than from root, for me) , e.g Xterm, aterm, gnome-terminal, et.c...

I'm pretty sure there is another way of solving this issue, but that's the solution that worked for me. Credit for the tip goes to Influx :)
