<P>Konsole is a X terminal emulation for the K Desktop Environment. |
|
<P>In the context of a graphical user interface being a terminal |
|
emulation means, that it's task is to provide a display |
|
to an application that is originally designed to run on a computer |
|
with a character terminal attached. |
|
<P>To give a short taxonomy of free X terminals, there' two other |
|
of this kind: xterm, which is the original, written even before X |
|
itself (a month or two), and xvt, a light-wight xterm clone, on |
|
which most other currently available derivates (notably eterm) |
|
base. After a decade, konsole is the first rewrite from ground up. |
|
While xterm has definitely been hacked to death meanwhile (it's |
|
README starts with the words "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here"), |
|
konsole offers a fresh start using contemporary technologies and |
|
understanding of X. |
