Open Source BSD Terminal Emulators

Thinstation is a thin client linux distro using std. x86 hw. It can boot from network, pxe, syslinux, CD, floppy or flash-disk and connect to servers using VNC, RDP, XDM, SSH, Telnet, tn5250, tarentella, 2X, NX, Thinlinc, VMWare VDI or ICA.

This project maintains the Linux Console tools, which include utilities to test and configure joysticks, connect legacy devices to the kernel's input subsystem (providing support for serial mice, touchscreens etc.), and test the input event layer.

tn5250 emulates a 5250 terminal or printer over telnet, for connecting to IBM Power Systems, iSeries and AS/400 computers running IBM i, i5/OS and OS/400. It runs on any Unix or Windows system. Note that this project is now on GitHub at https://github.com/tn5250/tn5250

Arabeyes is a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment. It is designed to be a central location to standardize the Arabization process. Arabeyes relies on voluntary contributions.

Alacritty is the fastest open source terminal emulator there is. How is it the fastest? With such a strong focus on simplicity and performance, Alacritty’s included features are very carefully considered, ensuring that it remains blazingly fast. It’s got a GPU for rendering that makes a whole lot of optimizations possible. In various benchmarked terminals, Alacritty has shown to be either faster, or way faster than others. Alacritty requires no additional setup, but still allows configuration of many aspects of the terminal. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD.

phpFileManager is a complete filesystem management tool on a single file. This is a tool meant for rapid file access, and also to verify the server php configuration and security. The script can be renamed and deployed on an unique known url, and offers password protection. Online Demo: http://phpfm-demo.dulldusk.com Feel free to mess around! This is a public demo installation, and will reset itself every hour.

LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient are cross-platform C libraries that allow you to easily implement VNC server or client functionality in your program.

ClusterSSH controls a number of xterm windows via a single graphical console window to allow commands to be interactively run on multiple servers over an ssh connection.

SSVNC adds encryption security to VNC. It provides a GUI for Windows, MacOSX, and Unix that automatically starts up an SSL or SSH tunnel for connections to any VNC server. It also supports VeNCrypt encryption. The Unix viewer has many new features.

rxvt is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. The rxvt terminal is light on system resources and otherwise packe dwit

mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator , which supports various character sets and encodings in the world.

iTerm is an enhanced terminal emulator program for MacOS X written in Objective-C. It features VT100/ANSI/XTERM emulation, full i18n support, full-screen, multi-tab and other convenient GUI features. This project is indefinitely on hold, and we recommend that you try http://www.iterm2.com/ instead.

Mrxvt is a multi-tabbed X terminal emulator based on rxvt. It is portable, lightweight and fast. It supports psuedo-transparency, background image (JPEG/PNG/XPM), tinting, NeXT/Rxvt/Xterm/SGI style scrollbar, multi-languages (CJK), XIM, freetype font...

GTKTerm is a small graphical shell like XTerm. It provides serveral terminals in one window and some nice features. It´s available for GTK 2.x.

Qodem is a a terminal emulator that resembles the BBS-era Qmodem. Includes phonebook, scrollback, capture, X/Y/Zmodem, Kermit, ANSI (+ music) / Avatar / VT102 / Linux emulation, Unicode, and keyboard macros. Connects over serial, ssh, telnet, rlogin.

Eterm is a color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm replacement. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the user.

ROTE is a simple C library for VT102 terminal emulation. It allows the programmer to set up virtual 'screens' and send them data. They will emulate the behavior of a VT102 terminal, interpreting escape sequences, control characters and such.

Linux is an excellent environment for deploying diskless thin clients. Whether you are installing a 2nd workstation at home, 50 workstations in a CyberCafe or 500 workstations in a major university or corporation, the LTSP can help you be successful.

xrootconsole tails a file in a window on your X11 root window. It aims to be as simple and resource-light as possible, within reason: it should run smootlhy on a P133 laptop. The program is non-interactive; all configuration is done on the command line.

PXES is a Linux micro distribution that will convert (or recycle) in minutes any compliant hardware into a versatile thin client capable of accessing any Unix/Linux XDMCP server, Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP protocol, Citrix ICA server or VNC se

Jexer is an open-source Text User Interface (TUI) designed to outwardly resemble the Turbo Vision library used by various Borland products.

Viewglob is a tool to increase the usability of the Unix shell in graphical environments. It watches your shell activity in an xterm and tracks file selections and potential name completions in a GTK+ display showing the layouts of relevant directories.

h3270 is a program that allows you to use IBM 3270 hosts from within a web browser. It is different from other, similar systems because of its highly configurable layout engine that is based on regular expressions.

DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is a software kitset enabling IT professionals to build an open source GUI appliance based on commodity x86 (PC), PowerPC (Mac) or ARM (handheld) hardware, using an embedded Linux methodology.

NetStation is a linux distribution for diskless thin clients terminals using standard x86 hardware. It can boot from network, floppy or flash-disk and connect to an application server using VNC, RDP, XDM, SSH, Telnet or Citrix ICA.
