> PuTTy sucks

PuTTy is amazing, and my experience of using windows over the years would have been far worse without it.

However I do understand the point - compared to using a real terminal, it does indeed suck to be stuck on windows using PuTTy

For a terminal on windows, I have now taken to install cygwin, X on cygwin, and then xfce-terminal on top. It's not perfect either, but it is better.
