With Apple selling laptops now in the double digit range, this is going to be a 
common event. Especially since Vista fails the "Can my mother use this"[0] test 
miserably. I've been using Windows since "Windows/286" days and I just don't know...

Getting back on topic.

You could use the built in xterm. However to make things easier for users we use 
Putty on FreeBSD as well as compiling a version once for a DSL linux 
"experiment" on a P100 laptop.

I don't have my MacOSX-86 HD in my Vista Beta2 box right now. I can't remember 
if I compiled putty. Not sure. I do remember I was pretty sure xterm didn't do 
the graphic characters right or something stupid like that of out the box, and 
that getting putty was on a "to do" list.

With enough time you can build a proper termcap without putty. I'd also read up 
on setting up the icon to automagically startup a xterm window to connect to the 
server.

[0] Live with Vista for a few weeks and you'll get that uneasy feeling that 
everyone who knows you will be bothering the heck out of you because they will 
have no idea how to do anything, since EVERYTHING has been moved, renamed, or 
refunctioned. YMMV

They threw out the playbook. That's what sucks.

Sometimes you get a championship team and other times you end up 0-15. I wonder 
what the makeup of client OS's will be in 2010.
