-   What is the difference between the different consoles: xterm, Konsole, rxvt, gnome terminal? Are they all of the same function?

-   They all give you access to your default shell - bash, but each has it's own
advantages. konsole is intergrated into KDE, and has a ton of options that are
configurable through the GUI interface to it. gnome-terminal is better
intergrated into Gnome, and has a few extra features for completetion. xterm
is available on almost all Linux and Unix machines, so getting use to its
configuration could be helpful in a multi-system enviroment.

Overall, if you are a new user, who primarily uses KDE, using konsole would be
your best bet.
