Besides the [Linux] console itself, the most common TerminalEmulator is [xterm(1)]. At launch, most TerminalEmulator~s run an interactive [Shell] inside themselves by default. |

There are many graphical TerminalEmulator~s which provide a window with an emulated terminal in a [GUI] environment. It has been said that [X11] is mostly useful because it allows you to have so many terminals on screen at the same time. [xterm(1)] is the default one with very mature and complete emulation support. It is not particularly customizable in appearance, however, and in times past was considered somewhat resource hungry. Over time, a wide range of TerminalEmulator~s offering just about any distinguishing characteristic you particularly care for (performance, memory footprint, eyecandy, DesktopEnvironment integration etc) have been written. |
