From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If anyone's interested and using KDE, there's Yakuake, which is also a Quake-style terminal that fits in nicely with that environment
Although I'm not really terminal-heavy user, I use Yakuake multiple times a day. It's awesome to have it ready all the time with one on keypress...
Ya Quake-style terminals are super convenient!
I'm also going to push forward Tilda, which has been my preferred one for a while due to how minimal the UI is.
