I haven't converted to linux completely yet.. (dual boot).. however, there are 2 things I love about linux that I want in windows..

2. aterm or something similiar.. can't find any app for windows capable of the transparancy etc etc.. any one know of an app similiar??

What would you use an aterm for in windows? A DOS prompt?? And you don't like the original because it's not transparent?! Please explain

I guess you can get PuTTY for your ssh and sftp needs and then use a third party app to make it transparent. I don't see a reason to use a dos emulator on xp.

I have a program called Console2.2 but it was sent to me by a friend to try it out.. really can't tell you where to find it... but I do know that my friend found a couple of tools to do this, so you should be able to google something.
Or you could look in some windows desktop-art forum.. I hear the popularity of windows has somewhat grown over the last couple years and quite a few people use it, so I assume such places exist on the net, though I really wouldnt know where

Why do some people run aterm, some Eterm, some gnome terminal etc etc.. all are a little different and people like diff features of each. There is a lot you can do with the command line in xp.. but you really can't configure it at all.. so I just wanted to see if there were others that might be better..

thx for the tip on console2.2 naseweis...

For fluxbox, there are blackbox shells for windows. Check out http://www.shellscape.org/ for a list of different shells (litestep and openvision both look pretty cool) and http://blueboxshell.org/

For aterm, you can either use cmd or run cygwin for a bash prompt and then combine it with glass2k.
