I chose lilyterm because it has easier shortcuts to the tab, but I don't know if there better on the Repository.
-
urxvt
-
One of my main problems is to enlarge the font, I'm trying urxvt but I didn't find very different from aterm on this front.

You didn't tell in the starting post why are you looking for a terminal. Quote from WIKIPEDIA:
Rxvt-unicode, commonly known as urxvt, is a color VT102 terminal emulator for the X Window System. It was written by Marc Lehmann, who forked it from rxvt in November 2003. Stability, internationalization and support for Unicode is its primary focus, as well as the capability to display different fonts and locales simultaneously.
-
I checked to prevent this misunderstanding but has happened.
I looked at the descriptions of evilvte and lilyterm:
evilvte: VTE based, highly customizable terminal emulator
LilyTerm: A light, but functional terminal emulator
sorry but I do not know the terminology too specific

Vinnie--
One way to have a nice, big font is is to use crtl-alt-F1 and drop out of Xwindows altogether. Then use ctrl-alt-F2 to get back to your desktop. Works great for some purposes.
-
ok, I have three obstacles that prevent me from adopting this solution:
font is still small
e17 crash (really do not reopen, but not crash)
and if I start from console graphics programs? (eg sudo fluff)
-
For starting graphical apps from console you could export TERM=:0; you may also put this into your .profile.

HI:
Does somebody know of a terminal emulater which allows me to copy from and paste to?
In some cases I would like to copy inputs/outputs from the command line over into a text editor.
Have a good day
-
select text, paste with middle mouse button.
-
this does not work with my terminal in Tiny Core 3.5
by the way - which TE is the one in TC?
-
It works in mine.
A ps should show you that it is aterm.

Within Linux world there are basically two camps - the dominant one tends to be the CLI brigade. These folks are accustomed to doing most of their computing tasks via the CLI - which means they are very keyboard-centric. The other camp - growing in size as more folk migrate from MS Windows - are the GUI brigade. They do much of their computing with a mouse and are instinctively mouse-centric [and maybe keyboard-phobic too].
What the CLI brigade fail frequently to understand is the concerns of the GUI brigade. In Linux forums the terminal emulator question is a classic example of this. The CLI brigade's response to such questions are therefore frequently bemused often unhelpful. So for the GUI brigade here is the full monty.
For the CLI brigade most of the light-weight default emulators will suffice - aterm, rxvt, urxvt, etc. They have basic functionality and most of what they want to accomplish can be achieved via keystrokes. They also don't mind too much if they have an ugly terminal. Functionality is what counts to the CLI folk bless 'em.
For the GUI brigade who want familiar mouse functionality such as right-click context menu, customisability such as font change, background colour, transparency, cut-and-paste via the context menu, then one or several of the following:
Lxterminal, Sakura, Evilvte, gnome-terminal, Terminal [xfce] all offer such functionality.
Cautionary Note: The more functional your emulator the more dependencies it will pull in depending on your setup. There is a price to pay for that prettiness!
Crunchbang Linux now use Terminator as their default - based on gnome-terminal - which has some interesting functionality such as multiple terminals open in a grid etc. It's a sort of terminal emulator Shangi-la...
-
nice the terminal, when I put java i try it
-
I use the mouse as much as I can, and still like minimalism.
So if I want stacked terminals I do it like this (use a stacking window manager: e.g. wmii, dwm):

Hi - I like your screen setup-
what is the that 9th icon from the top? (the two screens)
which program lays behind it?
Thank you
-
Well this is 'terminator' in a grid of four on crunchbang wth the preferences dialog:

And this is Sakura on Tiny Core with the context menu:

For system administrators I think terminator has a lot to offer if a little heavyweight for some...
-

The single and dual monitors and the thinkpad are calling a script to setup my monitors with xrandr.
It's currently a hack. I haven't understood how to create proper icons for the script, so I haven't made it a proper extension yet.

These screenshots look rather good, and showcase just how different a TC install can look. If you don't mind, please also add them to

These are all based on VTE (see vte.tcz.info)

i have added some screenshots of my desktop btw

There's no denying that compiz delivers a certain 'wow' factor but it's also a big drain on resources.
I use Xcompmgr to deliver some subtle fade in/drop shadow/transparency to my openbox that makes it easy on the eye without the full fanfare.
As I get older I incline towards minimalism where desktops are concerned.

it is running lightening fast on my machine, if you have enough resources why not use them ?

I'm running a mini-itx board with the nvidia ion chipset and an 1.6 ghz atom cpu; the box is the size of a book and has nothing in it except the motherboard. It consumes typically 25w. I use windows 7 on an external ssd, and crunchbang on a notebook 2.5 sata drive in a drive enclosure, and tiny core from a usb stick.
I like tc because it runs in ram [ I have 4gb of ram] and the write-tos are kept to a minimum [my sticks have gone two years so far and counting]. It's pretty fast once loaded and really keeps the power consumption to a minimum [just powered off a usb stick].
I am a bit weird about energy efficiency - still lately my electric bill has been less painful reading!
I have a big box with the usual gubbins in it but it makes a sound like a hoover and generates enough heat to heat a small room. I don't use it much. The small PC is fanless and silent and that's how I like it....
