Guake is a drop-down terminal for Gnome Desktop Environment. Like similar terminals, it is invoked with a single keystroke, and hidden by pressing the same keystroke again. 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. Guake follows the same line of Yakuake and Tilda, but it's an attempt to meld the best of them into a single GTK-based application. Guake has been written from scratch. Running Guake is faster than launching a new terminal with a keyboard shortcut because the program is already loaded into memory, and so can be useful to people who frequently find themselves opening and closing terminals for odd tasks.… More Edit

Saves a lot of time. Its a quick one-stroke access to the terminal!
Moreover, its cool and reminds me of Quake!
I like that it drops down so that I don't really have to move my eyes if I want a quick access to the terminal
Nice drop down Quake-esque style terminal for the GNOME desktop. Supports multiple tabs and has a good selection of preferences.
Love it! Fast, transparent, usable.
That's fantastic and FAST!!!
An awesome terminal emulator, especially when used with compiz so the transparency is real.
useful terminal emulator
