Avant Window Navigator, a very
popular dock a while back, has been deleted from the official Ubuntu
12.10 repositories, so to make it easier to install, I've uploaded it to
the main WebUpd8 PPA.
Please note though, that since AWN hasn't been updated in a long time, some applets won't work!

Although the application isn't used as
much as a few years ago, it's can still be useful on various desktop
environments / shells like GNOME Shell, Xfce, GNOME fallback session and
so on. So here's how to install it in Ubuntu 12.10.

To add the main WebUpd8 PPA and install Avant Window Navigator in Ubuntu 12.10, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigatorFor older Ubuntu versions, you don't need to add our PPA since AWN is available in the official repositories so you can install it via Ubuntu Software Center.
In other AWN-related news: today I've pushed a patch from BZR to the DockBarX PPA which fixes the DockBarX Avant Window Navigator applet:
