ROXTerm

ROXTerm is a cool, open-source terminal emulator that's free to use. It's built using C/GTK+ and is based on the popular VTE library. What makes it special? It's designed especially for the ROX desktop environment, which gives it a unique flair.

Fast and Lightweight Terminal Emulator

This terminal app is quite similar to GNOME Terminal but has some perks. Users enjoy faster startup times and a smaller footprint, which means it takes up less space on your system. Plus, ROXTerm supports tabs, making multitasking super easy!

Easy Configuration for Everyone

One of the best parts about ROXTerm is how easy it is to configure. There's a dedicated applet that gives you a user-friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) for setup. It’s perfect for power users and works well on all GNU/Linux operating systems, particularly those lightweight ones that prefer minimalist window managers.

How to Install ROXTerm

If you're looking to install ROXTerm on your GNU/Linux distribution, the quickest way is through your package manager. Just grab it from your OS's main software repositories—this will save you loads of time! But if you're one of those hardcore Linux fans who likes to tweak things just right, you can go ahead and download the source package from Softpedia.

Installation Steps Made Easy

You’ll want to download the tarball (TAR archive) and save it where you like. After that, unpack it using your default archive manager utility. Open up any terminal emulator and navigate to where you unpacked those files by using the ‘cd’ command (for example: cd /home/softpedia/roxterm-2.9.5). To get help with using the build system for this application, type ‘./mscript.py help’ or ‘python mscript.py help’ in the terminal.

Ready to Use!

Once you've got everything installed, you can find ROXTerm in your desktop's main menu. It looks just like GNOME Terminal and is ready for you to start running commands right away!
