[CoLoCo] Launchy for Linux

[Kevin Fries]

I use the AWN out of the PPA and it works great, though it seems like it updates almost every blessed day.  The only problem I have had with this is that sometimes the plugins (you don't get the plugins with the "official" Ubuntu version) get updated and then the system does not realize that the new and old plugin are the same.  Probably once every 3 weeks or so, I have to remove my "Remember the milk" plugin and then add it back in again.

I love some of the plugins, especially RTM which allows me to keep my todo list online, with an easy access on all my desktops via the RTM plugin to AWN, and the iPhone web app from their site (you have to pay for that one).  Bottom line is that I can jot down things I need to do, and I always have it available on my phone.

Though I have not tried, I guess you can build your own plugins via a Python interface/API.

I guess I am not quite clear on what you mean by "initial desktop config" but if you mean the application dock bar (kiba and awn like you mentioned) then the 'gOS space' offers it as a default on install.

Does anyone know of a Ubuntu flavor that mimics OS X in initial desktop configuration?  It seems that all of the good desktop toolbars and whatnot just mimic the OS X bar (nothing wrong with that, I actually love the interface design too and have used Kiba and whatnot)...  It just seems to me that Linux might more quickly be adopted if it adopted that flashy bottom-bar that most mac users love (and windows users envy).

One of the things I can't live without on my computers is an application launcher. For the longest time I have used GNOME Do on my Linux computers and Launchy on my Windows work machine. Both are great and have their ups and downs. Just today (I believe) Launchy released a new version for Linux so I thought I would throw it out there for everyone
