Guake - The ever-present terminal

I use the terminal window a lot. One of the first things I do when I log in to my system is open a terminal window. Occasionally I have two or three open at a time.

Then I came across Guake. It is a top-down terminal for Gnome in the spirit of the console in the game Quake. Press F12 and you have instant access to a terminal window. Press F12 again to hide it. Or if you're a mouse type person, click the tray icon to view/hide the window.

If you're a terminal junkie, it might be worth a look. I'm using it on my Ubuntu 11.04 system without any problems.
