Since I just posted how to install compiz fusion, I felt its appropriate to give a how-to for installing Avant Window Manager, my favorite linux desktop application.

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add these lines to the bottom:

## Avant Window Navigator
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ feisty avant-window-navigator
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ feisty avant-window-navigator

Then do this in a terminal:

wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/8434D43A.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Now to install the stable AWN version do

For AWN BZR do :
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr

You can install more applets for AWN by doing:
sudo apt-get install awn-core-applets-bzr

The Affinity in this repo requires Tracker to work properly:
sudo apt-get install tracker

Then run:
sudo apt-get install affinity-svn

***  UPDATED *****

1. Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enter your password when asked.

2. A new window appears, click the second tab “Third-Party Software”, then click the ‘Add’ button and paste the following lines (one by one):

3.

Hit the “Y” key when asked, and complete the installation. Close the terminal window and start the AWN dock from Applications -> Accessories -> Avant Window Navigator.

No need for a “fucking” key now.
