Tabbed xterm?

I was looking at the example screenshots off the Gentoo homepage. Saw Buda Travers' and wondered what he was using to get a tabbed xterm.

Anyone know?

looks like gnome-terminal (part of gnome)

That's gnome-terminal.

Alternatively you could give mrxvt a try.

Thanks - ideally I was after something I could nest multiple xterms in (got quite used to control and clicking in the xterm window - call me a stuck-in-the-mud but I like xterm).

I tried emerge -pv gnome-terminal and it gave me 48 dependencies (including alsa and esound!).

Am I right in thinking (again, extrapolating from the screenshot) that you can nest other terminals (i.e. xterm) inside a gnome-terminal tab?

No, gnome-terminal is a terminal on its own right, there's no xterm involved.

You want mrxvt.
