- For both paying attention to the #/$ prompt and CWD display are helpful. That's what I check whenever I switch to a given terminal (also useful to know which machine you're logged into). Arguably there's more potential for confusion if you normally only work in one, because you get more reliant on remembering the state.
FWIW, I once remember reading a post on Usenet where an admin wrote about working at a shop, once, where no admin was considered fully trained until he'd lost track of which box he was logged into and rebooted the wrong one at least once. Another admin in that group once claimed that the only use he had for a GUI at work was so that he could have 19 xterms open, logged into various different machines, and sometimes into different accounts and/or directories on the same machine.
