Re: Preferred terminal emulator

The thing we need to be careful of is to not chalk Linux up as complicated
based on a few applications that aren't developed for the faint of heart. I
don't actively use ibm5250 because of it's yuck (i.e. right now it doesn't
even work because it says it is character sets - heck if I know where they
went).

While TN5250J is the slowest of them all, it is the most user friendly and
stable.

I'ved write all these not-being-humans instructions, but at end, when type
ibm5250 xxx.xx.x.x I get this error:
"ibm5250: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
"

If a guy with 20 years of experience in as400 and (ugh) windows can't run
an terminal emulator I think Linux is not for the masses.
I will to re-try in a new year with less alcohol in blood.

Thanks anyway for the efforts .
