I am using either Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 and trying to SSH into OSX 10.6.
Using Vim color schemes, I can emulate the colors on xterm-256 color on Linux and gVim on Windows. However, I would like the colors to follow through when I am SSHing onto the OSX. The default terminal, however, does not support xterm-256color. 
Is there a way to have OSX use iterm2 by default, to accept all SSH requests instead of terminal.app? If not, is there a way to install xterm-256color into the default terminal? 
Upgrading to Lion is out of the question at this point. Thank you!
