Yakuake vs ConsoleZ : Which is Better?
Yakuake
Yakuake (Yet Another Kuake) is a KDE terminal emulator. Its design was inspired from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slide down from the top of the screen when a key is pressed, and slide back up when the key is pressed again. It supports skinning, split viewing, and profiles, as Konsole does. Developed by Eike Hein
