$ apt-cyg listall tty terminal konsole mintty putty gnome-terminal # use mate-terminal instead! lxterminal # !!! mate-terminal # !!! - but you have to master the mate desktop qterminal # !!!!!! - the Qt terminal emulatur xfce4-terminal # !!! konsole # !!! - halts suddenly after a while - use "xkill" to ger rid of the window ...
Which packages support screen splitting, I mean one on top of the other?
