After Ubuntu installation a real developer needs to setup the terminal:
Terminal -> Preferences
Click on “Unnamed” profile and select:
Custom font: Ubuntu Mono Regular size 15
Click on “Colors” tab, disable the “Use colors from system theme” and select:
“Green on black”
Click on “Scrolling” tab disable “Limit scrollback to:”
Close and you are done.
If you want other good font to use on Linux terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install fonts-inconsolata
I got the Inconsolata font suggestion from this site (its fonts packages are outdated) http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/7-of-best-ubuntu-terminal-fixed-width.html
