Free s terminal software for linux

S-terminal lets you create a secure X terminal over an ecrypted tunnel.

Regular X terminals pass unencrypted data between you the remote machine.

S-terminal creates an encrypted tunnel through which all X traffic passes.

It replaces the remote xdm login screen with a local application that collects username and password, then sets up an ssh tunnel to the remote host and starts a session.

It is highly configurable both in appearance and behavior, and deployed S-terminals can be remotely administered.

S-terminal was developed to run under Knoppix, but it should be portable to most Linux systems. With minor changes, it should work on any Unix-like system that has X, perl, tcl/tk and expect installed.

Best of all, it can be added to a KNOPPIX CD to create an instant, bootable, secure X terminal CD.

Terminal project is a modern terminal emulator for the Unix/Linux desktop - primarly for the Xfce desktop environment.
We developed it because we saw the need for a lightweight and easy to use terminal emulator in the Xfce desktop environment, that doesnt require the user to install the GNOME plattform, but still provides a worthy alternative to the GNOME terminal emulator.
Enhancements:
- Add a new "Paste Selection" action to the "Edit" menu, which pastes the contents of the PRIMARY selection (#2242).

- Fix installation in Win32 platforms (#2433).
- Fix incorrect english in usage text (#2381).

GNOME Terminator project is an attempt to maximise useful space on a given desktop for terminals. I’m a sysadmin by trade, so I live in ssh sessions and thus terminals. An extra line here and there over all those hours seems like it’s worth trying for.

NOTE: At least zsh doesn’t work in Terminator at the moment. Bash does for me and I am investigating the causes

This is a pretty simple python script which places multiple vte widgets in a window. That’s the same widget used by gnome-terminal. At the moment I haven’t cloned all gnome-terminal behaviours, so there are unexpected and bugful behaviours.

Multi Gnome Terminal is an enhanced version of gnome-terminal, with many powerful new features and extensions. The most notable enhancement is the ability to run multiple terminals within the same window.
Each terminal may be accessed by its "tab", through keyboard shortcuts, or menu selections. Inactive terminals provide an alert when the buffer changes by changing the color of the tab labels.
Other enhancements include a toolbar, a buttonbar, flexible command options to launch new terminals, tabs, and shells from either the GUI or command line, customizable key bindings for MGT functions and other uses, font shadowing, the ability to "split" terminals so that each window can simultaneously multiple terminals, the ability to "view" or "bond" terminals with other terminals, and various other improvements
Main features:
- Multiple terminals may be opened within the same Window.
- Each terminal Window is "Tabbed" for easy navigation.
- The terminal Window may be "split" vertically and/or horizontally. And also unsplit, or the split terminal can be moved to its own "Tab", or even another Window.
- Terminals may be "bonded" so that the output of a command in one terminal is echoed to all the "bonded" terminals.
- Terminals may be moved from one Multi Gnome Terminal Window to another.
- Notification that an inactive terminal buffer has changed, or is in the process of changing, via colors on Tab labels.
- Extensive keyboard shortcuts for most Multi Gnome Terminal features, and configurable key bindings for these features and other uses.
- Shading, tinting and psuedo-transparency of the Multi Gnome Terminal Window background.
- Gamma corrrection and contrast controls for background pixmaps.
- Configurable "Commands" for initializing new terminals, accessible from within the Multi Gnome Terminal GUI interface, or as command line options.
- Adds a Toolbar and Buttonbar, which can be disabled like the other GUI components. The Toolbar can be repositioned too.
- Search the scrollback buffer.
- Font "shadowing" for better contrast on transparent or pixmapped backgrounds.
- Improved terminal emulation capabilities, including support for VT52.
- Improved support for launching URLs direct from the terminal Window.
- A flexible command line for creating new Windows and Tabs.
- Bold fonts can be a different font, and different color.
- Support for pseudo-graphics characters (like xterm).
- Greatly improved Class handling (configuration profiles) with many available configuration options.

VT6530 Terminal Emulator is a Java implementation of the proprietary terminal used with Tandem mainframes.
The Tandem VT6530 is a proprietary terminal used with their Non-Stop(TM) series of mainframes. These high-reliability machines are popular in the banking industry. If youve ever used an ATM to get cash, youve probably used a VT6530.
The terminal itself can operate in three different mode: conversation, block, and ANSI (VT100). Conversation mode is a simple scrolling text mode with the addition key buffering and text attributes. In block mode, text is displayed in a formated screen with special edit fields. ANSI mode is only used with OSS, Tandems UNIX wanabe operating layer.
Enhancements:
- Autotools support (./configure, make, make check, and make install).
- New telnet and ANSI terminal implementations.
- Linux, Cygwin, and HP NonStop (tandem OSS) builds are not quite running yet.

Gnome Terminal Launcher applet reads the profiles from GConf and creates the corresponding menu entry to invoke the gnome-terminal command and its arguments.

If you are a system administrator, perhaps a command line junkie, and you deal with a large number of servers on a daily basis, you may have already created profiles to define the connection characteristics of each server.

Ive also experienced an improvement in usability assigning a different color and icon to a server or group of servers. After a while, you can quicly identify which server are you connected to with just a glimpse of the screen.

But this has a drawback, the only way to open a terminal is from another terminal unless youve already created launchers for the specific profiles.

To provide a cleaner solution. Ive create the gnome-terminal-launcher applet that reads the profiles from GConf and creates the corresponding menu entry to invoke the gnome-terminal command and its arguments.
