Possibly none. Look, if I write about using xterm or a terminal to cut and paste text from the screen, I don't expect to have to write "Use xterm or aterm or aterm-ml or eterm or mrxvt or mrxvt-cjk or mrxvt-mini or rxvt or rxvt-ml or rxvt-beta or rxvt-unicode or rxvt-unicode-256color or rxvt-unicode-lite or rxvt-unicode-ml or xvt or X terminal-emulator or an emulator of your choice", just to pander to someone's inability to look anything up on google or wikipedia. It's enough for me to restate previously-given instructions by writing "Use xterm, not a VC, to cut and paste text". If someone assembling a RAID-10 can't decode those words, then I'm wasting my time. Cheers, David.
