The Avant Window Navigator (awn)

Avant Window Navigator (AWN/Awn) is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. It can be used to keep track of open windows and behaves like a normal window list. – Wiki

I have installed awn on my Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and this was how I did this:

1. Add these two lines in ‘Software Sources‘:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator

‘Software Sources’ are found through System/Administration. On the ‘Third-Party Software‘ tab you click +Add and add them one at a time. Then you click on +Close and let it load.

2. Open the Terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) send this:

sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr libawn-bzr

Now it should be installed and can be found through Applications/Accessories/Avant Window Navigator.

Starting AWN it will be visible on the desktop:

Through right clicking on the awn and selecting Preferences you can personalize your awn.
