Terminal Emulators Reviewed

An anonymous reader writes "Linux Weekly News has a now free review of terminal emulators. It might be old but still remains an important tool to many of the regulars here." If you're checking that out, it's also worth checking out Joe Barr's CLI series on Linux.com (also owned by OSDN)

the only one?

I REALLY miss the old /. where people knew what the hell they where talking about.

Real nerds don't use terminal emulators

Real nerds actually have these sorts of terminals lying around!

Who needs emulation when you can have the real thing?

(my wife has, on more than one occasion, insisted that I ditch my vt220, but I can't bring myself to just chuck the thing... too many memories)

" Slashdot used to be a lot better. Five or six years ago you had your annoying trolls but also some bright sparks of insight.

These days slashdot is worse than a pack of mediocre newbies."

Does that explain why you are still here and posting?

And just what, may I ask, is wrong with a 80x25 basic text only serial dumb term with clacky keyboard and green mono CRT?

You can't play Galactic Trader on it!

Get a VT, you HEATHEN!
