If you are not sure what is Gnome Do, read my previous post on this topic. Ubuntu 8.10 repositories has older version 0.6.0.1 of Gnome-DO. This was probably released around October 2008 time frame when Ubuntu 8.10 was released. It has been several months since then, and Gnome DO has progressed nicely.
If you want to try the latest version of Gnome DO, which now comes with Docky, then read on How to upgrade to latest version.
Gnome Do – App Launcher for Linux

If you have read the about page, you know I started my career on unix, hence my love for command line.I genuinely feel that command line is efficient than GUI. Most of the times I can achieve the result much quicker using the keyboard, than using mouse. So when I heard and read about Quick Silver application, I was jealous of folks who use OS X. Soon I realized that although windows doesn’t have as good an alternative as QuickSilver (or QS, as they fondly call it) there are options like Launchy, DOMercury and my current favorite Executor.
So when I finally installed Ubuntu on home machine, I wanted an equivalent for Linux as well. I had read about Gnome Do long ago, and when I looked at it (back then) it was in a very nascent state (plus I didn’t have working Linux machine at home)
