How to use Quake-style terminals on GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| We know all about how powerful the GNU/Linux terminal is. However, it’s a
| pain to have to fire up a terminal emulator like Konsole or gnome-terminal,
| wait for a few seconds for it load, and then have to keep Alt-Tabbing to it.
| Wouldn’t it be easier to just have a terminal that automatically hides and
| shows itself at click of a button? Today, I’m going to look at three
| different terminal emulators that do just that.

Geek to Live: The command line comeback
,----[ Quote ]
| The advent of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) forever
| revolutionized personal computing. A windowed system with point
| and click icons made computers usable for anyone who couldn't deal
| with a black screen and a prompt waiting for arcane textual commands.
| But in recent years, this enormous interface change is coming full
| circle. Amongst power users - and more and more, regular Joe's - the
| command line is making a comeback in modern web and desktop
| applications.
