Ahh you didn't ask that :)
A quick google bought me back to an earlier question with the answer in it. Problem is, it was you asking it.

Do you need something else ? Please ask the full question - tell us what you are after and maybe someone can help...
define what you mean by 'virtual teminals'.
When most people talk about virtual terminals they are talking about the command prompts you get if you press CTRL+ALT and F1 (or the first 5 or 6 Function keys)
If you want these to have agraphical resolution then you ned to be running them as a frame buffer. There is loads of text already about changing the files / boot up line to set these up
If you are talking about X WIndows (for example KDE or Gnome) then edit a different set of files and it boots into that resolution.
Savone is right. 1024x600 is not a defined standard. It is becoming more popular in the netbooks and widescreen laptops so it may be classed either as a standard or just so popular it is always included soon but as far as I know it is not a 'default' on any 'fedora' yet so you'll have to edit files or move onto another distro.
for example :

We had the same problem as you with our Acer Netbooks. Fedora as a default supports 1024x600, if installed on a laptop with a screen size thusly. But, what has been written above is completely true. You CAN modify xrandr and/or include a xorg.conf file (if using Gnome) to override this. Unfortunately we decided to give up fiddling with it after a day and went for the XFCE version of Fedora.

This seems to re-size windows slightly better with an "irregular" resolution aka 1024x600. Give it a go :)
If it is just the text mode you want then it is nothing to do with the distribution you are using. it is the framebuffer drivers you use to get into a graphical text mode.

I understand that the answer to the current question is "none".

All of them.
If it does not have that as a default option you can edit the config file and put in the resolution you require. if your video card can produce it the linux drivers can drive it.
