[ILUG] Which terminal & why

[ILUG] Which terminal & why

James McCarthy James.McCarthy at Sun.COM

I've been using Gnome terminal for a while since that is what's default 
(in work & my home desktop) however I'm having issues with colours & 
keys on some apps.

My question is which terminal would you recommend & why (xterm or Gnome 
terminal)?

I'm looking for something that's going to be supported across multiple 
Unix platforms (really just OpenSolaris & Linux). With colour support 
and standard key bindings.

Please forgive my apparent noobness, but my terminal is something that I 
guess I've just taken for granted.
