“Why gm-notify? True, there are other notifiers for Ubuntu that
do similar things, but out of the ones I tried this was the only
one to integrate into the Message Menu, use the OSD Notifications
and successfully launch Gmail in my browser. Plus it’s easy to
configure once it’s installed and can be installed multiple ways…
so, if you prefer using the Ubuntu Software Center it’s easily
installed that way, if you prefer Synaptic Package Manager it’s in
there as well, plus if you find the Terminal is your preferred
path, it’s a quick apt-get away.”
