+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
