Did you try ctrl+alt+F1 to get to virtual console 1 (as opposed to the 
virtual console running your X session)?  If that's not what you want 
you need to add detail to your question.

Besides midnight commander for file browsing you can use screen to get 
multiple consoles in one (you also have vc2 through vcn but you have to 
log in to each of them, unless you adjust how they're run).
