Now that we have Compiz installed and enabled, let's get rid of the default Gnome Panel and add Avant Window Navigator for a little more eye candy and flexibility. First let's get AWN installed.  To install with Synaptic Package Manager, Search and Install the following:
avant-window-navigator-bzr, awn-core-applets-bzr, awn-manager-bzr, libawn0-bzr python-awn-bzr
To install command line, you would use the following:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr, awn-core-applets-bzr, awn-manager-bzr, libawn0-bzr, python-awn-bzr

Well I have to say, I have fallen in love with SmartSEF. Over the weekend I tried out 3 different SEF components in my attempts to get this site SEF'd. I tried ArtioJoomSEF Free(Legacy Mode Needed), Sh404SEF(Legacy and Beta), and SmartSEF. Afte a day of playing with 3 different components, I finally settled on SmartSEF for it's easy install, detailed URL tuning, and the ability to lock items.
I started off with ArtioJoomSEF because I had really good luck with the his original component. It does work right out of the box, but it requires legacy mode to be enabled which it does for you upon install. The newer version includes all the same features as the older versions with a few improvements. You can get the details from the link above. I then wanted to stray away from having to have Legacy mode enabled, so I started looking around. I then found sh404SEF from articles on Alledia.  After installing sh404sef, I had a hard time getting the ITEM ID's off the URL's and they looked as if they were the default Joomla style. I tried all options for the .htaccess settings, on, off, etc.. None of the options gave me URL's that I had interest in so I dumped it.
In the end, I tried SmartSEF. Right after install I had excellent results and was able to fine tune just about ever aspect of the rewriting process. I have also added the SimpleSEO plugin to help with Meta Data. After a day of getting things setup, I've noticed a HUGE difference with SEO meta tag analyzers. Which SEF Component do you use and why?
