Re: The console window.


Most folks use rxvt or xterm; the 'normal' versions of those utilities
require an Xserver such as EXceed, XWin32, or Suhaib & Co's
*EXERIMENTAL* port of XFree86 4.0.  However, there is a native port of
rxvt available at http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html that doesn't require
an XServer.
