Re: [Trisquel-users] The best terminal?

[kerdadit]

For a while I have been getting by using the terminal emulator inside of GUI  
emacs most of the time, M-x ansi-term. The $TERM echos as "eterm-color". The  
old Desktop computer I'm currently using (my X200 is being repaired) can only  
seem to handle Trisquel Mini without freezing continuously (now only freezes  
occasionally), so lately when I use a terminal emulator outside of emacs it  
is the default one that comes with mini, which is LXTerminal (echo $TERM is  
'xterm'). The only time i've installed one that didn't come default was in  
the case of cool-retro-term, just for fun. I'm also not too clear on how  
'x-term' differs from the default one that comes with Trisquel, although I  
seem to remember reading a thread somewhere on this forum where someone  
suggested it was superior to the default one in some way. Also I don't  
understand why LXTerminal echos the $TERM as "x-term".
