Terminator - Ubuntu Application

Terminator is a handy little application that helps users have a number of Terminals on the same screen. With terminator allows you to split the Terminal window both in horizontal and vertical columns and rows.

To install:

sudo aptitude install terminator

To create a new row or column, simply right click and chose how to split it. I find this application really useful on my MSI Wind, due to the small screen that I have. Having tabs is okay, it makes this so much more easier splitting the screen into two like that.
