install another terminal/console program....

[Rob Pomeroy]

apt-get install ...
or
yum install ...

What do you mean by "properly working terminal"?  Are you talking about a shell?

yum install bash

Or do you mean an xterm (or something like that) in X Windows/KDE/Gnome?

yum install xterm

By "Properly Working Terminal" I mean:
It does have a terminal (CLI), but, its BusyBox, which, seems to be quite limited as compared to the regular terminal in Ubuntu.

I will try booting off my SLAX CD and see if I can run it from there, as soon as I get the enthusiasm to do so (I have a cold...)
