Shell with multitab: mrxvt

If you want to work via ssh on a linux machine, you often want tabbed shells. When you have a X-Server (Xming) running, try the following: Try

 apt-get install mrxvt
 mrxvt &

Make sure you have the X-Server-Fonts installed, like XServer-Xming-fonts-7-4-0-3-setup.exe, or you will get errors like "could not load font xyz".

To get it as shortcut on your windows desktop: XLaunch

• Multiple Windows, Display 0
• Start a program
• program: mrxvt
• or mrxvt -geometry 124x78-5+0 (plus/minus for origin change)
• --reverseVideo (black vs white background)
• --saveLines 3000 (buffer)
• Using putty
• IP....
• User....
• Additional parameters -P <port>
• Dangerous: -A (take the ssh key with you)
