Linux term type

[ltworf]

On linux-boxes, the TERM type of non-X sessions is identified with
TERM='linux'
And the colormaps for both xterm and VT100 cause cyan/gray color to be used in any case.
A specific class for this kind of terminal should be provided.

I think perhaps a more sophisticated approach to detecting terminal color capabilities is in order. Perhaps something like the Python curses module or termcap, terminfo, and/or infocmp could be of use for detecting which escape codes can be used.

I'll have to look into the details of how exactly this would work
