From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like urxvt with i3
Urxvt seemed to be the fastest of them all. Definitely my favourite.
Yeah! That's why I like it. Lots of specific configuration, and it has a plugin system with some good plugins, too!
Any plugins you may recommend?
Yes it is the fastest, I test it from time to time and it is always on top. Use bitmap fonts for more speed.
urxvt ftw!
