For future reference, you can also ask Ubuntu related Q's on askubuntu.com, or *nix related on unix.stackexchange.com – invert Nov 26 '10 at 9:02

That's system specific. On KDE, just type konsole. On Gnome, it's gnome-terminal. What should work on nearly every x system is xterm. Or just call $TERM (environnement variable).

I think what you want is:

CTRL + SHIFT + T    -> new tab

or

CTRL + SHIFT + N    -> new terminal

Press ALT + F2, then type-in gnome-terminal or xterm and Enter.

If you just have command line access (via ssh, for example), you should research screen.
