 Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2004 8:54 pm Post subject: Terminal Question... which one!? |
 |
|
I am curious if anyone can recommend a console to me that perfectly emulates a clean basic linux console... also, please include all of your options you use for it.
Eterm? aterm? x?
Thanks guys!
Regular consoles just look so nice and clean.. but all of the terms I use suck.
Thanks again, fellas. |

Personally I use aterm with the following options:
| Code: | | aterm -sl 5000 -tr +sb -sh 80 -fg white -bg black |
This gives me 5000 lines of scrollback, transparency with a slight tint, no scrollbar, and white text on a black background.

BTW, this doesn't really belong in a support forum - Gentoo Chat maybe?

Thanks a ton.
Also, yeah, I was kind of unsure as to where it should be... sorry about that.
Everyone, please continue contrubuting to this thread. I want all of the options I can take! 
BTW: I just tried it out, and it's pretty slick, but it's far from being as clean as normal Linux console.
I want that nice crisp look.
I'm sure someone knows what I mean and has a cure! |

| I use konsole with Andale Mono Font. I personally like konsole because you can have tabbed consoles. |
