Picasa for Linux

Kobus.nl · 05-27-2006, 04:32 AM

Google launched Picasa for Linux on Google Labs. It incorporates nearly all the features of the current Windows version of Picasa, providing you with the tools you need to easily find, edit, and share the photos on your computer. And because it runs on a carefully tested version of Wine, Picasa avoids the slowing effects of an OS emulation or a virtual machine.

Yay! At last some Google software which works.

I hope this is a trend Google will start to follow.
Google Talk, Google Earth, and Google Sketchup are a few things I'd really like to see a Linux version of...

EDIT:
I don't like the look of this:

Quote:

Should work on any Linux system with Intel 386-compatible processor, glibc 2.3 or greater, and a working X11 display system.

I think I have an 686 AMD processor. Google says it requires an Intel 386 compatible processor.

Will it work?

UPDATE:
It installed it (apparently successfully), but when I try to run it, the Picasa program appears in the kicker, then it just disappears.

I don't use Picasa anyway....it just seemed nice to have it.

Well, I just hope that this is the first on many Google products that actually run on Linux.

I really, really, really want GTalk.
GAIM and Kopete are nothing in comparison.
