Do a mailing list search for examples of flamewars about these. Personally I use vim, but that could be because having become comfortable with it I didn't want to confront another learning curve with emacs. > 2. What are the differances between xterm, eterm and rxvt? I read somewhere > that rxvt uses less swap space. Which should I use? rxvt seems to be the most lightweight of the three. I'm not aware of any particular advantage xterm has over it. eterm (and gnome-terminal etc) are flashier. But, again, use what you like. Rahul.
