I am used to Emacs, but I am trying out Vim to see which one I like better.
One thing that I like about Emacs is the ability to run a terminal inside Emacs. Is this possible inside of Vim? I know that you can execute commands from Vim, but I would like to be able to run a terminal inside of a tab.

To start using vim, just run the "vim" command on the Linux shell followed by the path of the file that you want to edit. [enter] means to press the return or enter key on your keyboard. The word --insert-- will appear at the bottom of the editor window to show that you are in insert mode now.
If enabled in your version of Vim, a terminal can be started with the :term command. Terminal window support was added to Vim 8. It is an optional feature that can be enabled when compiling Vim with the +terminal feature. If your version of Vim has terminal support, :echo has('terminal') will output "1".

Check out Conque Shell (also on GitHub). Lets you run any interactive program inside vim, not just a shell.
