Linux、FreeBSD 下有形形色色的 terminal emulator，如：aterm, xterm, Eterm, rxvt, Konsole 等等等，到底如何选择呢？各自又有什么特性呢？哪个适合我？今天在网上看到一篇不错的文章，原文网址： http://ayaz.wordpress.com/2007/04/07/aterm-xterm-eterm-rxvt-konsole-oh-my/
内容如下：
aterm, xterm, Eterm, rxvt, Konsole, oh my!
“Konsole” supports transparency, but it is slow (and most importantly for me, does not have the “fixed” fonts that xterm uses). “xterm” is cool, but I want transparency which it doesn’t have. “Eterm” is, again, slower than “xterm”, and though it does support backgrounds, you cannot, as far as I have explored it, make “Eterm” use any image for background. On the flip side, “Eterm” has support for the fixed fonts like xterm. But I desperately need “transparency”.
Look at “aterm”. Although working on the shoulders of “rxvt”, “aterm” is pretty much like “xterm”, supports all the things “xterm” does, and provides fast visually pleasing effects (without hogging up resources like Konsole), including, what I want the most, transparency. Not only that, you can configure “aterm” to use fixed font. What more do I want?
我的选择是 aterm，然后 xterm，其他就不考虑了。
