Hello and thanks for the answers. I am running Ubuntu in two diferent versions, 10 and 12 beta. I think it is convenient to have a setup with abit more than 80x25 during development, source browsing, code comparing and so on. I will try the answer and see if I can get it working. We are not allowed to run admin commands or to access /etc files at work, so I have to ask for some admins to do this.
