Gate One Brings Text-mode Surfing To the Web, Quake-Style 71
Riskable writes "As a follow-up to my previous Slashdot story, Gate One is now out of beta. Packages can be downloaded here. There's also a live demo: press the ESC key on this page to have a terminal running lynx drop into view, Quake-style! I've also posted a video overview and the documentation can be found here. Some pertinent changes since the beta: Added the ability display images inline within terminals, key-based SSH authentication, a WebSockets authentication API (for secure embedding), dramatically improved terminal emulation, an overhauled bookmark manager, support for international keyboard layouts, and a web-based log viewer that lets you export logs to self-contained HTML playback files."
Bravo from the ajaxterm author (Score:3, Interesting)
I'm the author of ajaxterm which was one of the first web based terminal and is still quite popular even if i dont maintain it anymore. I was not aware of this project, i find GateOne impressive maybe it's time to ditch rxvt :)

Because it isn't completely client side. Every time you open a new terminal it spawns a new shell and server-side terminal emulator to run it. Gate One wasn't really made to handle a slashdotting but I believe I can make adjustments if necessary to make it work. If the load stays this steady everything should be running smoothly for the rest of the day :)
