There are lots of alternatives to Gnome Terminal.

I particularly like "roxterm" for general work, but it offers no major
advantages
over gnome-terminal, I just find it does the things I want to do a
little easier.

For system administration, I actually use "evilvte", but that's custom compiled
because it has no options - everything is done at compile-time and I don't like
the Fedora default setup ;o)

But there are many many alternatives - just do a search in your package
manager for "VTE" (the Gnome Library most of them use) and you will see
what I mean.
