I used to collect terminal emulators and have generally found them all more or less the same for common usage. The rest breaking down into pseudo/real transparency and tabbed environments as that 'extra some thing' to look for.


I use urxvt on my laptop but konsole is generally the best terminal emulator for the ease of configurability if your not familiar with X. xterm, rxvt, aterm, eterm, konsole, gnome-terminal, and so on... All generally work fine.


Shells I've also collected (along with window managers) when I had time.


tcsh, bash, or zsh would probably serve you best (tcsh == comes with FreeBSD, bash== standard issue for linux, bash & zsh == need to be installed on FreeBSD before usage).


I personally use zsh because I find it more to my liking then Korn, and considerably more Borne like then my fateful tcsh ;-)
