Yep, every POSIX shell will respond "console" on VCs and "xterm-debian"
with Debian xterm--Xterms actually run a shell on top of 'em, so they'll
respond with the terminal type as well. It's part of the POSIX standard
that terminal type gets stored in TERM.

Even inside of an xterm? My xterms give me 'xterm-debian' and on a virtual
console, I get 'linux'.

off-topic... I have a shell account

What is $TERM set to? ("echo $TERM" should show you if you
use bash). Try "export TERM=xterm-debian",
Hi all:
I use rxvt for an X terminal. How can I get xemacs show colors in it?
Midnight commander uses color by itself...
