    You could use the Unite theme for dockbarx that is intended to replicate Unity. Dockbarx is available in a PPA although you will have to install the theme seperately.

  2. An alternative to the unity dock is the dockbarx applet, make sure you install the extra themes so get the unity themes (assuming you are using Ubuntu 10.10, an 'apt-get install ubuntu-netbook')

    This is the PPA link: https://launchpad.net/~dockbar-main/+archive/ppa
