 To take a glance at the possibilities offered by the window layouts, have a look at [[http://www.linuxnov.com/the-complete-guide-to-configure-terminator-terminal-emulator-layouts/|this article]]... It even thought me about the //Alt-F2// shortcut to open the "command" window!
+To customize Terminator's appearance, create the //**/home/<user>/.config/terminator/config**// file, and put this content in it:

 ===== Guake =====
 Guake is also immediately available from the "Software Manager" application.

 I recommend you give Guake a try...
+===== Command Line Packages =====
+If you're using a terminal you might find some interest in the following packages:
+==== ranger ====
+The [[http://ranger.nongnu.org/index.html|ranger file manager]] is a text based file manager for command line users... We won't delve into the details of the possibilities it offers, suffice to say they are worth the try!
+<code>
+> sudo apt-get install ranger
+> ranger
+</code>

+==== htop ====
+top is cool, htop is... hyper cool!
+[[http://hisham.hm/htop/|htop]] is an interactive process viewer for Linux, it also has a lot of possibilities to let you monitor the system you're logged in to. Once again, we won't get into details here but we highly recommend you try it! Don't hesitate to follow the previous link to learn more about it.
+<code>
+> sudo apt-get install htop
+> htop
+</code>
+{{ :applications:devtools:terminals:htop-1.0-screenshot.png?direct&200 |}}
+==== iftop ====
+It's often interesting, or even important, to monitor your network activity, to this purpose, [[http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/|iftop]] is a must have. iftop displays bandwidth usage on a network interface, in a relatively graphical manner. It's interface is simple and clear, allowing for a good perception of the interface activity while providing enough information to let you grasp at a glance what's exactly transiting through it. It is worth taking a minute reading the available options...
