Re: Debian on Slow laptops. What setup is best?
aterm is as light as xterm, and for tabs you can rely on the wm
(fluxbox handles tabs very well, any ways you might want to group in
tabs not only aterms, but also other applications, therefore wm tab
grouping is probably better than just the application tab grouping).
Still aterm has some features that if used can make it heavier
(transparency and shading are good examples), but you can just keep
away from them.
