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.

urxvt, like a lot of other folks here. Everytime I try something else I end up back at urxvt because there's some feature that another terminal doesn't support, fonts don't render at the same size, etc.
Seconded. It's light and fast. You can add plugins that are useful. I use it with i3, and the tiling abilities of i3 with a simple terminal emulator is bliss, imo.
I also use i3wm, and this makes such a productive and fast combination. Nearly perfect, simple, and maximizes screen real estate.
