I use the program Visor to give me access to a terminal from any program. I press 'Control' twice and it slides down from the top. It is about as fast quicksilver to run a command from any window.
Here is the main site: http://visor.binaryage.com/
Here are some instructions for improving it: http://tech.xster.net/tips/the-perfect-visor-reborn/
However, I personally do not like making it an LSUIElement because long story short I can't figure out how to change the transparency with a keyboard shortcut. Instead, I use DragThing and exclude Visor from the dock and application switcher.
I can't recommend this program enough. I can't live without it since I use the terminal constantly and this gives me the ability to use bash aliases and scripts as fast as I can access a quicksilver catalog item.
Also, DragThing. Stupid name, but it replaces your boring normal dock with as many themed and tabbed docks as you have crap to shove on them. It is also a more versatile and better application switcher than either Witch or LiteSwitchX.

BTW, take a look at DTerm app (http://decimus.net/DTerm/). similar to Visor, can change active dir to the file you working with, if possble. I use it for hg commands and it works just fine.

don't forget that you can turn on terminal cataloging for quick silver too so you can use quicksilver to repeat often used ssh commands etc.
Only a small part of the solution I know.

Really? Is this a preference for the Terminal module? I'm using B54 and can't bring up Preferences to check.
That sounds good for commands in general, but for SSH specifically, the Remote Hosts plug-in is awesome …and I'm being totally objective. ;)

Yep, install the module and then in Pref > Catalog turn on Bash command history (needs a restart to show up)

Cool! Checking it out now...
