Like SuSE, you mean? xterm IS in the menus (under System/Terminal 
Applications), and it's in the path. True, they DO make konsole easier 
to get to (it has a toolbar icon) - after all, it is a KDE-centric 
distro - but xterm isn't buried too deeply.

Heck, they even have gnome-terminal in the path and the menu - if you 
have installed gnome, of course.
