Thank you for your reply, Andy. I understand the small number of terminator users and large number of terminal choices does not justify inclusion terminator in the book. I could make some propaganda of how great it is, after all, I tried others, including lxterminal, and returned to it. However, just two things: 1. Is it completely out of purpose including a small remark about the existence of vte2 and difference to vte3, just to warn those who, like me, install vte3 when needing vte2? 2. Would you mind me forwarding this thread to support, just to inform people not subscribing here about this (it would have an initial remark: forwarded just for informoation pupose, no need no support needed)? I learned there about terminator(Richard Melville), first installed the wrong one, and only after some months, discovered the good one. Richard gave a link to what I think is the wrong one, I believe the good one, used by most distributions, is at http://launchpad.net/terminator/trunk/0.96/+download/terminator_0.96.tar.gz -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
