Roxterm does all of that. I thought gnome-terminal did all of that too, but I uninstalled it, so I can't check. As I said elsewhere, KDE is too flashy and actually too configurable for me (I'd spend all my time tweaking stuff). Gnome is perhaps bland, but I like that because it stays out of my way. > Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:25:29 -0500 > From: Walt Mankowski <waltman@pobox.com> > > Tabs, schmabs. Real hackers use screen(1). I love screen, it rules. But I mostly use it for reconnecting or sharing terminals, not so much for multiplexing. <Goes and adds that to my next "Cool Ubuntu Apps" preso.> Later, JP ----------------------------|:::======|------------------------------- JP Vossen, CISSP |:::======| http://bashcookbook.com/ My Account, My Opinions |=========| http://www.jpsdomain.org/ ----------------------------|=========|------------------------------- "Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
