Guake!

One of the most important tools that linux users need to use almost everyday is the terminal. Even though you are a new user, you have to use the terminal.

When you get used, the terminal became an indispensable friend that allows us to control everything and reports much more better the information about our system than all gui applications can do together.

For that reason exist Yakuake (on KDE) or Tilda (on GNOME), two programs that run a terminal just pushing one of the function keys. Even though Yakuake is a good solution for KDE, tilda is not really good for GNOME. The integration and functionality is limited in comparison with Yakuake.

But there is other solution on GNOME: Guake!. Guake is basically Yakuake for GNOME and is more or less exactly the same, with the same functions and appeareance. At this moment there are only precompiled versions for Ubuntu. The rest, we have to compile it from the source.
