When I installed my first Debian I got
gnome-terminal by default, but I soon realized
that xterm is much faster. Or at least that was
the case back then, perhaps it has changed.
I also remember trying rxvt and urxvt for
a short period: "r" as in "reduced", "u" as in
"unicode" - but despite xterm not being
reduced, it wasn't/isn't slower than rxvt what
I could tell, nor does it have any char
limitation for my purposes.
BTW urxvt seems to be in rxvt-unicode. There is
also a reduced urxvt, in rxvt-unicode-lite :)
BTW 2 I once read a FAQ and there was
a question how to start a terminal. The answer
said in a terminal, type the name of the
terminal and hit RET! In essence, an
"interminal" problem...
