If you are a Mac OSX fan, I am sure you love the dock functionality of OS X. We have docks for Windows like Object Dock etc. but so far none of them have come up to terms with the OS X Dock. Well finally Linux has a dock, that I believe is a lot more better than the dock in OSX. I am not a Linux user, and I still use Windows XP as my default OS, but with every passing day, i am itching to try out Ubuntu.
I Have been building replacement software for everything that I use in Windows, and I can say that AWN(Awant Window Manager) is definitely a better Alternative to Objectdock. Just a couple of days ago, we saw the release of AWN 0.2 and here is what is new :

You can choose weather you want to have the dock icons bounce, spin or have a spotlight cast on them, when you click or hover over it.
Mac’s come with a remote called Apple Remote that allows you to operate your Mac Remotely. Well the software for this is pretty much limited in what it can do. If you want something extra then you need Mira.
Mira is designed exclusively for the Apple Remote, taking it beyond Front Row with personal control for any application, on any Mac.Mira has built-in support for over 65 programs, new ones can be given their own specific actions in seconds with no learning curve and no additional software or plugins to download or install.
