I think he meant help on installing the app. If that's the case, double click on the tarball in whatever file manager you're using, copy the resulting folder to your home folder, and open a command prompt. Drill down to the new folder containing the app and type ".configure" when that's done, type "./make" when that's done, type "./make install"At least that's how you'd normally do it. I haven't installed it yet due to dependency issues.
If the world didnt have people copying ideas and bringing a little more to the original idea, It would be a very boring world.Take it easy on slamming people for copying a good idea. But if you dont like copying people, Go play in traffic. At least you'll be the only one. For a short while.
Well, I'm not sure quite how dock like either of those were, possibly more similar to the taskbar of Windows/Linux today. I do however know NeXTSTEP had the dock in 1989, with previews starting in 1986 for the OS. Since this was the forerunner to OSX, you could say the Apple dock goes back just over 20 years now.
Its bleeding new, so I doubt it works well. But I'll it out.Gdesklets, Adesklets, Superkaramba are all great in theory... but in practice they fail utterly, rarely work, and unless you got insane time on your hands don't look very good.The day I find a good eye-candy program THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, I'll be happy. Maybe that day will be upon us.

sinembarg0: you can create a .deb from a .rpm by using alien. sudo apt-get install alienthen google for proper conversion params.

I was just thinking the same thing. I remember seeing SuperKaramba doing this back in 2001.

AWESOME <a class="user" href="http://www.megatourism.info">http://www.megatourism.info</a> .I thought this was kiba which is OK but quite distractive <a class="user" href="http://www.ukrtravel.org">http://www.ukrtravel.org</a> .But it will be really awesome if they could introduce a feature using which one could drag a rpm or deb file into the dock to install apps this will make apple user feel at home <a class="user" href="http://www.viptraveler.info">http://www.viptraveler.info</a> .Thre are people who are scared of <a class="user" href="http://www.voyage-voyage.info">http://www.voyage-voyage.info</a> using terminal for those it would really cool if they could just drag and drop a link into dock or a menu in order to install something <a class="user" href="http://www.vip-tour.biz">http://www.vip-tour.biz</a> .
