Terminals

[Tony Hammitt]

I normally use xterm except for accessing the stupid SCO boxes at work 
as if I were on a console,
for which I use RXVT since it's easier to reconfigure the key codes and 
colors than xterm.  Granted,
you have to recompile rxvt to change the key codes, but it's not all 
that hard to do.

Most of the other people use kterm at work, but I like the 
configurability of xterm better for a general
user terminal.  Kterm is OK, it's just not as easy to set the defaults 
as my 5 lines of .Xdefaults for xterm.
(which, BTW, is portable among any xterm implementation on any real OS)

Just my $0.02...
