Today there is seldom a need to open a terminal in a linux system to carry out your day-to-day tasks. And i feel it is good, as many new linux may get scared off, if you need to use the terminal for simple daily tasks, but as any moderate linux user will tell you, it is very useful to have some basic terminal skills. But i hate it when you have to keep track of all the terminal windows when you minimize them or when they hide behind some other window. A solution to this problem is the Guake terminal for gnome desktop.
Guake Terminal
It is a drop-down terminal for gnome desktop system. Here are some of its main features
To get it for ubuntu just search it in the software center or CLICK HERE to visit its development page.Guake Terminal
- Can be invoked by single key press.
- Opens instantly, as it is already loaded in the memory at the start-up.
- Multiple terminals can be opened in the single window.
- Highly customizable. Keyboard shortcuts, window appearance, scrolling behavior can be changed very easily.

install ubuntu using Wubi installer. It will install ubuntu inside win7 just like any other program. It is a good option to try out ubuntu and it can be uninstalled very easily if you ever feel the need to do so.
