What is the default terminal (shell) for Xubuntu? Does Xubuntu use the same shell as Ubuntu?

"Terminal" and "shell" are two different things. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 11 '11 at 2:40

All Ubuntu variants use Bash as their default shell. They all use different terminal emulators. However, Xubuntu uses the Xfce 4 terminal emulator (Kubuntu uses konsole and Ubuntu gnome-terminal).

It's called Terminal, but it's different from the Gnome Terminal.

See What is Terminal - Xfce

Specifically, in Xubuntu, this is /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal. – Kevin Cantu Dec 1 '11 at 6:36

You can always use "echo $SHELL" to get current shell environment.
