Looks like a copy of Ubuntu Tweak
Interesting! I will try it out!
Peace!
Aiulurus has more functions than Ubuntu Tweak
competition is good 😉
sudo add-apt-repository results in error message…
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
@Don Toman: It worked for me, so you must be doing something wrong.
Apparently… My copy of Ubuntu 8.04 doesn’t contain the “sudo add-apt-repository” command.
@Don Toman: it’s not a problem of your copy of Ubuntu. That command was implemmented since Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, so it won’t work on Ubuntu 8.04. If you wanna add the repository, you have to do it manually.
Here you cand find a list of .deb packages. Use the one of you distro =).

Peace dude!
@Don Toman:
For Ubuntu 8.04, add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ailurus/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
Then add key:
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9A6FE242
Then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ailurus
Enjoy!
Nice! This app in contrast to Ubuntu Tweak can be used in Kubuntu, too and even that it’s package selection and configuration is mostly for Gnome, it’s quite usable in KDE, too.
Great program!!!!
Apparently… My copy of Ubuntu 8.04 doesn’t contain the “sudo add-apt-repository” command.
Awesome tool…
