I use something like this on Linux, it's called tilda (there are also various similar implementations). It's both awesome and a curse to me. I have it bound to alt+kp_enter and I always keep an irssi/irc session running on it. Every time I need to chat with my friends on our IRC channels I just hit alt+kp_enter and it opens, it's a curse because now I'm always chatting and doing other things while I work, which detracts a lot from my productivity. Still, really awesome! Nice to be able to share something like this with our windows friends.

  I've been using guake which has the same functionality as Tilda but a few extra features (hot-key for tabs) that I can't live without.

There are many of this kind on Linux. I use stjerm and I like it. I use it mainly as a home to MoC (Music on Console). You can assign a hotkey with -k option. I run following at startup. /usr/bin/stjerm -k f12 -o 60 -fg 66ff11 -sh /bin/bash

  A friend of mine created tilda[1], which I always enjoyed. [1] https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/tilda/ https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/tilda/

Can recommend guake[1] for linux users, it looks decent and works like a charm. Modified the code a bit to color the active tab so it's easier to spot[2]. I think it's also included in the most recent version, i.e. if your distro has it or if you build it from source.
