With Windows 7 came Aero Snap: "Clicking and dragging a window to the right or left side of the desktop
causes the window to fill the respective half of the screen. Snapping a
window to the top of the desktop maximizes it. Resizing a window to
touch the top or bottom edge of the screen maximizes the window to full
height, whilst retaining its width; these windows will then slide
horizontally if moved by the title bar, or can be pulled off, which
returns the window to its original height."
I've gotten used to this behavior; it's nice to be able to easily split the screen in half, even if it's not flexible enough to allow for deeper customization.
What is the closest equivalent in Linux? Specifically, since I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, what can I do to bring this sort of behavior into Linux?
