I am a great fan on Launchy, a smart launcher on MS window. It is lightweight and very smart. Launchy can guess the file/application while you’re typing the filename or command. Also, it is highly customizable. You can include or exclude certain directory or file type.
It is really a MUST HAVE tool for MS window.
In linux, the similar tool is called “Gnome Do”. By press <win>+<space>, new window is popup and you can type the file/application name at once. just like launchy. Highly recommend for any linux user.
About the installation, it is rather simple in ubuntu 8.10. Just type following command
$ sudo aptitude install gnome-do
