Yakuake (Yet Another Kuake) is a KDE terminal emulator. Its design was i
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.

Running Yakuake 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

Yakuake features include: 
- Smoothly rolls down from the top of your screen, Tabbed interface,
- Configurable dimensions and animation speed, Skinnable,
- Sophisticated DCOP interface
