Eterm is a vt102 terminal emulator intended as a replacement for xterm. It is designed with a Freedom of Choice philosophy, leaving as much power, flexibility, and freedom as possible in the hands of the user. It is designed to look good and work well, but takes a feature-rich approach rather than one of minimalism. Current features include color support, background images (all Imlib-supported formats), theme support, and pseudo-transparency.

Twin is a text-mode window environment. It turns a text terminal into a X11-style display with window manager, terminal windows, and can also serve as display for remote applications. Each terminal window provides the functions of a text-mode Linux console. Twin runs on X11, libggi, itself, the Linux console, and any termcap/ncurses-compatible tty. It supports multiple simultaneous displays, and can attach/detach each display on the fly.

Thinstation is a mini Linux distribution that
enables you to convert standard PCs into
full-featured, diskless thin clients supporting
all major connectivity protocols like Windows
terminal services (RDP), Citrix Ica, X, NX,
telnet, ssh, etc. It can be booted from the
network using Etherboot/PXE or from standard media
like floppy/CD/hd/flash-disk etc. The
configuration is centralized to simplify terminal
management.

Terminator is an application that provides lots of
terminals in a single window, saving valuable
screen space otherwise wasted on window
decorations and not quite being able to fill the
screen with terminals.

AKFAvatar is a fancy graphical user interface for text oriented applications where an avatar appears on the screen and provides information in a balloon. It also supports recorded audio files. Applications for AKFAvatar can be written in Lua, and there are interfaces for C and Free Pascal.

A number of ready-to-use applications and modules are provided, including a text viewer and a module that makes question-answer exercises. For POSIX-compatible operating systems there is a man page viewer and a terminal emulator, which makes it possible to run many existing terminal-based programs in this fancy environment.

h3270 provides access to IBM 3270 hosts from within a
web browser. It features a highly configurable layout
engine based on regular expressions. Unlike other
systems, it is implemented as a server-side Java
application, rather than an applet.

DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is a software kit enabling IT professionals to build embedded Linux appliances based on commodity PC or Mac hardware and various commercial embedded appliances. The focus is on platform portability, OS fundamentals and developer friendliness, rather than the end-user UI. The distribution is intended primarily for desktop graphical appliances, particularly thin clients (using the X11/XDMCP, ICA, RDP, and RFB graphics protocols). Although originally a network-booting OS, DIET-PC works well with various forms of solid-state persistent storage and hence is no longer strictly "diskless". The project uses QEMU virtual machines running Debian Linux (under Windows) as self-contained development environments, and hence may also be of interest for its unusual (non-x86) QEMU accomplishments.

multi-aterm is a multi-tab terminal emulator based on aterm for the X Window system. It provides tab functionality without requiring KDE or GNOME.

The WebTTY package allows any Linux terminal
processes to be controlled via a text area HTML
element on a Web page. The output from the server
process is collected on the server side, and is
sent to a textarea element. Keypresses in the
textarea are collected on the client side and sent
to the server process. WebTTY uses AJAX/DHTML
patterns to achieve in-page updates without
refreshing the entire page.

ggiterm is a software terminal emulator like
xterm. However instead of X, it uses the GGI
system for its rendering, which allows it to be
displayed on anything from a framebuffer to
multi-screens across networked hosts (including
ordinary X sessions). It features multiple font
formats, anti-aliasing, vt100 compatibility, and full internationalization.

Poor Mans Storage Appliance creates a Virtual Appliance which can join an HA cluster to create shared storage for a virtualized environment.
