If you're running Linux you don't need an emulator, the terminal is native.  I use iTerm2 for Mac although the native Mac terminal is also very good.  The shell I use is zsh but mostly just for kicks - there's no amazing advantage over bash.

If I didn't have a Mac I would run Ubuntu 13.04 desktop and if necessary, run Windows 8 inside of VirtualBox.  For terminal stuff I wouldn't even go into the Window VM - that would just be for using Microsoft Office and things like that (again, only if necessary).

@Adam, et al, do you have a good terminal emulator for linux?

I had to revert to Zoc (my favourite) and the likes of teraterm, of course via Wine to get my work done.

I am yet to find a good native linux client. Key features:
 - Key Bindings (backspace, function keys, etc)
 - Session specific customisations

Unfortunately this MobaXterm has refused to run via wine

For those who love terminals like I do, I find this one great!

I am sure you'll love it.

Also, from the terminal, type `busybox --help` and see the host of Unix cmds available.

I just discovered this 3 days ago and loving it.
