'''Funtoo Linux''' is a Linux-based operating system that is a variant of [http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Linux]. Funtoo Linux is:
* ...'''fun!''' Our priority is to create a ''great, supportive and responsive'' user community.
* ...'''user-centric and collaborative'''. Everyone is considered a '''user''' of Funtoo, first and foremost. You don't need any special privileges to collaborate with us.
* ...'''production-oriented''': Our goal is to have Funtoo be useful for ''real-world tasks''. We use Funtoo to do stuff, like host our infrastructure. It needs to work.__NOTOC__
* ...'''creative''': We seek creative, elegant and maintainable solutions to problems of all kinds.


Urxvt is a clone of [[Package:Rxvt|rxvt]], to which xft fonts and unicode characters support were added. This is an alternative to [[Package:Xterm|Xterm]], the X default terminal emulator.

It is very likely that when you will launch Urxvt for the first time, you will want to make some customizations so that your terminal doesn't look ugly and fit your tastes. So we will go into it. If it does not exist, create a file <code>~/.Xresources</code>.

If you use a display manager, <code>~/.Xresources</code> is probably automatically loaded. If this is not the case, you will have to load it manually in your <code>~/.xinitrc</code> with the command <code>xrdb ~/.Xresources</code>. If you want to split your configuration into multiple files, you can also use the <code>-merge</code> option of <code>xrdb</code> so that the last called file doesn't override the others.

First thing you might want to do is to change the color scheme. For instance, you may prefer working with white on black:
Funtoo Linux packages are installed from source code, automatically, thanks to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage_(software) Portage ports system.], inspired by the FreeBSD ports system, but written in Python and with full advanced package management functionality.

{{fancynote|The prefix ''URxvt'' is optional. It is actually the namespace of the property you define.

You can also redefine other colors. For instance, I redefined color0 so that it is close to the background color (to display invisible characters in [[Package:Vim|Vim]]) and color12 to a more readable color than dark blue on black:

When you spend a lot of time on your terminal, it is important to have a lean and readable font. A good font designed for console is '''Inconsolata''. If you want to use it, you have to emerge it first.

([[Funtoo_Linux_FAQ#Do_you_support_systemd.3F|without systemd]], because that's how we roll.)


Then, if you want to set your terminal font to Inconsolata with a size of 8px, write the following in your <code>~/.Xresources</code>.

If you think your the space between letters is too wide (or too nested), you can change it with the <code>letterSpace: n</code> property, which increases the size of the separation between letter by <code>n</code> (or decreases if negative).
