I used to run Gentoo and got used to the command line there. Although I don't use it that often in Gutsy now, I still miss one key-functionality:
The Page up key... in Gentoo it gave me the last time I used the command of which I had just typed the first letters.
Sorry, very unclear description, an example:
I would type "ssh" on the command line and with page up I could go through all the commands that I typed before starting with ssh (like ssh, sshfs, ssh -X 192.168.2.2, etc.) whereas the up arrow cycles through all commands I have given.
I was using gnome-terminal on both Gentoo en Gutsy, the only difference was that on Gentoo I used gnome 2.16 and now 2.18... that can't be it (right?).
No, gnome-terminal is the terminal emulator you used. The shell would be the command line interface that is brought up after the terminal is opened. Examples would be bash, tcsh, csh, zsh, ash.
