New Tool: Avant Window Navigator

Media_httpwwwstrangea_jfshn
I have started using the Avant Window Navigator (AWN) which gives the Ubuntu desktop a great alternative to the standard window panel running along the base of the screen. AWN basically gives Linux GUIs an OSX like dock which is aesthetically more pleasing than the default in Gnome but not really any more functional. It is a good idea to make this a start up item so head to System -> Preferences -> Sessions then select "Add" from the startup programs tab. Enter a suitable title for your new startup program and enter avant-window-navigator into the command field.
