Looking for gui or terminal program advice for linux.

Im looking for ways to increase my use of the terminal and so I want to have one around all the time without having to switch tabs. I have seen tiling window managers but I kinda don't want to lose like windows snapping and such. Is there any way to attack a window to the taskbar in kde so that other programs won't overlap it? I basically would like to have like 3 lines of a terminal across the bottom just above the start bar.
