Unusual Consoles 不凡的控制台

Tilda（这个名字建议不翻译）

主页：（同上）

An oldie but goodie, Tilda was created by Tristan Sloughter (aka kungfooguru) in December 2004.

尽管很古老，不过却很实用，Tilda是由Tristan Sloughter (aka kungfooguru)在2004年十二月份开发的。

Named after the tilde (~), this powerful terminal is modeled after the gaming terminals found in Quake and many of its derivatives.

命名在这个波形后面，这个强大的终端来源于Quake和很多它的延伸工具。

With a simple key combination, Tilda will gracefully slide down from the top of the screen and present a full terminal.

通过简单的按键组合，Tilda将会优雅地从屏幕的顶端滑下按后呈现出一个全屏的终端。

Hit the combination again, and the terminal quickly slides out of view, waiting in the background for another order.

再次按下组合键，终端将会很快地滑出你的视野，在后台等待命令。

It even provides a multi-tabbed interface, so you can have multiple terminals running at the same time.

即时它提供一个标签式界面，你还是可以同时运行多个终端。

To install Tilda, grab the tilda package from the universe repository. After installing it, run tilda -C to configure it.

要安装Tilda，从通用的源下载即可。安装以后，运行 tilda -C来配置。

YaKuake（这个名称建议不翻译）

Homepage: http://yakuake.uv.ro/

主页： http://yakuake.uv.ro/

As you may have figured out, Tilda really only plays nice on GTK-powered distros like Ubuntu or Xubuntu. If you're a Kubuntu user and feeling slightly left out, give YaKuake a spin.

或许你已经想到了，Tilda真的只能运行于像Ubuntu或者Xubuntu那样的GTK环境中。如果你是一个Kubuntu的用户，并且觉得有些脱离你的习惯了，试试YaKuake。

Based on the now dead Kuake (http://freshmeat.net/projects/kuake/), YaKuake is a Konsole-powered terminal that, like Tilda, slides down from the top of the screen whenever you hit the hotkey.

基于现在已经死亡的项目：Kuake（http://freshmeat.net/projects/kuake/），YaKuake 是一个Konsole支持的终端程序，像Tilda一样，运行在后台，任何时候你需要都可以敲击热键唤出。

It also has some nice features like skins, resizing, and multiple tabs.

它也有一些漂亮的功能，比如，可更换皮肤，改变大小，多标签。

While the YaKuake homepage indicates that there hasn't been much activity recently, there have actually been a lot of builds released.

尽管YaKuake的主页显示最近没有什么太多的活动，而实际上已经有很多正式版发布。

To install it, just use the yakuake package in the universe repositories. Or, if you're a KDE 4 user, try yakuake-kde4.

要安装YaKuake，直接在通用源里面下载yakuake包。或者，如果你是KDE4的用户，试试yakuake-kde4。

YeahConsole（同样，这个名称建议不用翻译）

Homepage: http://phrat.de/yeahtools.html

主页：http://phrat.de/yeahtools.html

If you're not an Ubuntu or Kubuntu user and/or believe that lighter = better, YeahConsole is for you.

如果你不是一个Ubuntu或者Kubuntu的用户，或者相信轻量级=实用，YeahConsole是你的好选择。

Weighing in at only 81.9 KB, YeahConsole is a really dropdown console, based on xterm and similar to Tilda and YaKuake.

程序只有81.9KB，YeahConsole是一个真正的下拉终端，基于xterm和Tilda YaKuake 类似。

What sets it apart is that there are basically no special "features", which means that the developers didn't think they needed the tabs or the skins or the other tools that YaKuake and Tilda gives.

和Tilda、YaKuake的区别在于，只有基本功能，没有任何附加功能。这意味着，开发者认为他们不需要像Tilda和YaKuake提供的类似于标签或者皮肤或者其他的一些工具。

To install YeahConsole, install the yeahconsole package in the universe repositories.

要安装YeahConsole，只需到通用源安装YeahConsole包。

Hotwire（同样，这个名称建议不用翻译）

Homepage: http://hotwire-shell.org/

主页：http://hotwire-shell.org/

Hotwire is another "different" type of terminal. Designed for systems programming, this "hyper-shell" merges the old UNIX shell with a nice Gnome-based GUI.

Hotwire是另一个“不同”版本的终端程序。为编程而设计，这个“超强界面”融汇了早期UNIX和Gnome特色。

You can simply type in one of its many pre-built commands and view the output in the GUI. You can also script it with Python, Ruby, and sh.

你可以简单地输入它的预设命令，看它在GUI上输出的效果。你也可以用Python，Ruby或者sh修改它。

And for those times when you just need a normal terminal, you can run the command term to open up Hotwire's built-in console.

当你只需要一个简单的终端的时候，你可以运行命令 term以打开Hotwire的内置控制台。

To install Hotwire, get the hotwire package in the universe repositories. You can also get a newer package (http://www.getdeb.net/app/Hotwire) from GetDeb.net

要安装Hotwire，和上面所有软件一样，在通用源里面下载对应的包。也可以在（http://www.getdeb.net/app/Hotwire）下载。（注意这个是针对旧版本的Ubuntu的，可能无法正常运行。）(note that this was for an older Ubuntu and may not work).

Terminator（同样，这个名称建议不用翻译）

Homepage: https://launchpad.net/terminator

主页：https://launchpad.net/terminator

Finally, a rather simple terminal tool. You may have noticed that most modern terminals like Gnome-Terminal, Konsole, and the ones listed above have support for tabs.

最后，不仅仅是一个简单的终端程序。你可能已经注意到了，列出了Gnome、KDE上最流行的终端。

However, this means that you can't see two terminals at the same time without opening two separate ones. Terminator rectifies this problem.

然而，这意味着你不能同时看两个终端在没有开两个窗口的情况下。Terminator 解决了这个问题。

Opening it provides a very simple terminal. Just right click on the terminal and hit Split Horizontal or Split Vertical, and Terminator spawns another terminal.

它提供了一个很简单的终端。只是轻点终端上的右键然后点“横向分裂”或者“纵向分裂”，Terminator便把窗口合在一起了。

You can do this for as many terminals as you want. 你可以通过这种方法结合许多终端。

To install Terminator, use the terminator package in the universe repositories.

老生常谈，在通用源中安装terminator包。
