Which term do you use?
The reason I want to know is because I use xterm. What do you use? How usable is it?
1) What terminal for X do you use?
2) What features/advantages are there over another?
3) Any disadvantages?
Here's me
1) "xterm -bg black -fg gray &"
2) Saves room, and has colors.
3) I guess It's not transparent

I use konsole. Used to use gnome-terminal, but it broke on me. I like being able to change the font of my term (I use Andale Mono, fixed-width, but nice
), but the big thing is tabs. I'm addicted to tabs...so I have to have a term that has tabs. It may not be the smallest or fastest, but it has tabs.

I use Konsole. It was the first I tried when I started using Linux and I've had no problems with it.

I like tabs too, but since I'm using fluxbox, theres no reason for my term to have tabs

Because flux allows you to tab any program onto another program, ie you can tab xterm, gedit, firefox all as one "window" if you wanted to.
