It is a curses front-end to gdb. I almost never run bare gdb anymore. It has a source file pane (no more line- by-line), a gdb pane and, although a bit clumsy, a TTY pane (not shown in the screen shot) that you can interact with the debuggee with. It's been around for a while, so debian-derived distros can usually just `apt-get install cgdb`. There's a screen shot available [1]. -Kyle [1] http://cgdb.github.io/
