Nautilus Terminal - a Nautilus extension that embeds the terminal into the Nautilus window -, finally works with Nautilus 3. This is actually a full rewrite of the original Nautilus Terminal, for Nautilus 3.x.
The new Nautilus Terminal follows the navigation automatically (auto "cd"), you can copy / paste (Ctrl+Shift+C / Ctrl+Shift+V), supports drag & drop of files and folders and is resizable (height).
Currently there is no GUI to configure Nautilus Terminal, but you can create a config file with various settings. Also, the terminal can be toggled on/off using using a keyboard shortcut (F4).
If you want to change some of the Nautilus Terminal settings, run the following command:
gedit ~/.nautilus-terminalAnd in this file, paste this:
[general]
#The terminal height (lines)
def_term_height=5
#The terminal default visibility in new windows? (1: Visible, 0: Hidden)
def_visible=1

Terminator is a very interesting terminal emulator that lets you use multiple terminals in the same window (split view). It supports notifications (through 'watch for activity' plugin), tabs, can save / restore custom layouts and more.
The latest Terminator 0.96 re-adds a so called "quake mode" feature (more info and how to launch Terminator using a custom layout, here). Other features in the latest Terminator 0.96 include:
- Unity support for opening new windows
- Searching by regular expression
- Improve and extend drag&drop support to include more sources of text, e.g. Gtk file chooser path buttons
- Add a plugin to watch a terminal for inactvity
- Add configuration to remove terminal dimensions from titlebars
- many bug fixes

Got a mail recently from freeworld's Raphael where he introduced me to his recent creation - a Linux bash shell cheat sheet meant for beginners. Very useful list of commands and keyboard shortcuts for Terminal with descriptions, more relevant if you are an avid Ubuntu/Debian user.

Terminator is a very cool terminal Emulator for GNOME. It supports tabs and notifications, you can get multiple terminals in the same window and many other cool features.
Terminator 0.96 is supposed to get "Quake mode" (like Guake or Yakuake; this mode lets you hide/unhide the terminal using a keyboard shortcut in a Quake-like drop-down), but it's been almost an year since the last release and this version still hasn't been released so I've built Terminator from BZR in the WebUpd8 unstable PPA so you can use the new "Quake mode" feature even though version 0.96 hasn't been released yet.
Since this is not a stable version, you may find bugs! However, the new Quake mode feature worked well in my tests.

We have featured a few Terminal emulators before and introduced you to applications like CLI Companion that makes you more familiar with command line in Linux. Now, we want to take it to a whole new level. A collection of really good Terminal emulator apps for Linux.
Guake for its apparent simplicity is my favorite terminal emulator app for Linux. Eventhough Guake is based on KDE's Yakuake Terminal emulator(about which we will see later in the post), the original design inspiration came from consoles in computer games such as Quake which slides down from top of the screen on initiation. Guake is available in default repositories of Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and ArchLinux. Click here to Install Guake in Ubuntu. Visit Guake download page for more download options.

TermKit by Steven Wittens is a refreshingly beautiful graphic replacement for terminal. If you are wondering, TermKit is not a flashy GUI for Terminal, instead its very much a command line based system made on top of WebKit, the rendering engine used in web browsers like Google Chrome and Chromium. TermKit has been originally designed for Mac OSX, but there is a TermKit fork by Floby which you can install and experience in Ubuntu right now! Read on.

Bleeding Edge is a simple script for Ubuntu that lets you install a multitude of applications not available in official Ubuntu repositories. Using Bleeding Edge, you don't need to manually add repositories and update PPAs to install a new application, instead you just need to select the applications you want to install and click OK, simple as that.
