I use the bs stuff and the cyclebuffer stuff in emacs-goodies which
comes in ubuntu. 

In my .emacs :

;; buffers stuff
(global-set-key [(f8)] 'bs-show)
;; Cycle buffers #####################################
(autoload 'cyclebuffer-forward "cyclebuffer" "cycle forward" t)
(autoload 'cyclebuffer-backward "cyclebuffer" "cycle backward" t)
(global-set-key [?\C-x right] 'cyclebuffer-forward)
(global-set-key [?\C-x left] 'cyclebuffer-backward)

You wouldn't use alt-tab since that's generally the GUI desktop app
switcher.
