Just a quick note to wrap up this series of articles. Since writing this article, I’ve switched out my main 
PC running Ubuntu to a Mac – running VMWare’s Fusion. So now I don’t have Quick Silver envy any longer as I’m using Quick Silver on a daily basis.
However, for the Windows side, I’ve decided to use Launchy. It’s very “Quick Silver”-like in operation after some tweaking. I’ve given up looking for a tool on the Linux side as I don’t use the GNOME interface very often any more.
