TERMINOLOGY – this new and recently discovered and already becomes my favourite [easyazon_link asin=”1430219122″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] Linux [/easyazon_link]terminal. It is completely different terminal with fancy features 🙂 . This terminal emulator is based on Enlightenment libraries and it is better if you install it via the  repository. It is quite rich on functionality and features that you wont find in other Terminal emulators in [easyazon_link asin=”111821854X” locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] Linux [/easyazon_link].
Just some of the highlights:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:enlightenment-git/ppa sudo add-get update sudo apt-get install terminology
Other two emulators I like are Terminator and Deepin.
# Install Deepin Terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/deepin-sc sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install deepin-terminal< # Install Terminator Terminal sudo apt-get install terminator
Lets get back to Terminology terminal – here is another repository in case the first one does not work
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hannes-janetzek/enlightenment-svn sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install terminology
I think this video will explain everything for you about this terminal:
Here is quick How to and few commands:
- Terminology project website can be found here: https://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/terminology .
- Terminology is included by default in Bodhi Linux (which is based on [easyazon_link asin=”0672336936″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”wn0d5-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”] Ubuntu [/easyazon_link]) so if you’re running Bodhi, it should already be installed.
