Gnome Do brings OSX Dock to Linux
Straight to Docky

It appears that Docky was made a separate project from Gnome Do which also means what I had initially installed and posted about was using an older version. So I took some advise from posters on another site, and took a look at the separate home of Docky now as well as looked at the Cario project. In the end I stuck with the Docky after having a very good conversation with one of the developers (ricotz in IRC channel). The developer even talked me into installing the development version (2.1) and so far I am very pleased with it. Some of my complaints from the “gnome do” install have been resolved and it just looks so much nicer with a few more basic options.

A nice feature with this install is the ability to right click on an active icon and click on the option to “pin to dock”. As silly as it may sound, it is very nice and very easy to add an application to the Dock when you can do that as well as drag and drop.
