Free terminal 1.1 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.

gnome-terminal is the GNOME terminal emulator application. gnome-terminal is only the shell (menubar, prefs dialog); the terminal emulation ("stuff in the middle") comes from the VTE widget. Remember this when choosing a bugzilla component.

How it works:

Profiles:
all settings are stored in profiles. prefs dialog edits the current profile

Session:
just the number of open windows/tabs and their profile is stored per-session

Command line options:
do not overlap things that are preferences

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).
- Accept drops from the Thunar path bar (#2284).
- Fix installation in Win32 platforms (#2433).
- Fix incorrect english in usage text (#2381).
- Fix incorrectly handled SIGPIPE (#2349).

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.

Terminal Server Client (tsclient) is a frontend for rdesktop and other remote desktop tools.
Main features:
- GTK+-2 frontend for rdesktop and other remote desktop tools
- GNOME panel applet to quickly launch saved profiles
- reads and writes profiles in the Microsoft format (.rdp), maintaining compatability with the Microsoft client
- similar look and functionality to the Microsoft client
- written in C using GTK and GNOME
- features a profile launcher which launches saved profiles
- Translated to 20+ languages.
- support for rdesktop 1.3
- support for VNC clients (*vncviewer)
- supported vnc options are -fullscreen, -geometry, -depth and -viewonly (set by checking "no motion events"). for a vncpasswd file, put the full path to the file in the username field.
- support for X via Xnest

Like gnome-terminal but better suited to running outside GNOME, especially with ROX.

ROXTerm is a terminal emulator intended to provide similar features to gnome-terminal, based on the same VTE library, but with a smaller footprint and quicker start-up time.

It achieves this by not using the Gnome libraries and by using a separate applet to provide the configuration GUI. ROXTerm can be used as a ROX application, as the name implies, or in any other X environment.

GNU Termutils provides control utilities for the GNU terminal.
This directory contains the GNU terminal control utilities tput and tabs. tput is a program to enable shell scripts to portably use special terminal capabilities. Although its interface is similar to that of terminfo-based tput programs, it actually uses termcap. tabs is a program to set hardware terminal tab settings.
Enhancements:
- Package renamed to termutils.
- Added SysV tabs utility.
- tput has longname, init and reset options.
- tput has --standard-input option.
- Works with POSIX.1 termios systems as well as BSD sgtty.
- Configuration updated to current standards.
