Packages for Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/Suse/Mandriva are available.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35789951-1386978352811026590?l=googlelinux.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pawalnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35789951.post-1162978788983858312006-11-08T10:39:00.000+01:002006-11-08T10:39:48.986+01:00The new beta4 of Google Earth for Linux seems to be really good. Especially since I also upgraded to new X.org drivers after the new release of Ubuntu.<br /><br />What still buggers me with Google Earth is the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=google+earth+missing+north+pole">missing North Pole</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35789951-116297878898385831?l=googlelinux.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pawalnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35789951.post-1161373196864066412006-10-20T21:36:00.000+02:002006-10-20T21:39:56.876+02:00Aha! They are starting <a href="http://googlemac.blogspot.com/2006/10/something-old-something-new.html">Mac-discussions</a> in a Google Group now! I am not lagging far behind. So now there's a brand new Google Group for <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/google-linux">Linux-discussions</a>. Just in case.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35789951-116137319686406641?l=googlelinux.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pawalnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35789951.post-1160515018727444892006-10-10T23:16:00.000+02:002006-10-10T23:16:58.963+02:00I have now installed <a href="http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/">Google Firefox Extensions</a> on my Firefox 1.5. It has been working as expected for over 10 minutes now. The first thing I did was turn off all the privacy intrusion stuff. But I had to try the PageRank meter, because that was what I was really interested in. I guess it has its' privacy issues as well.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, the Firefox extension can replace the ordinary Firefox search box. I did not try that.<br /><br />Although this Firefox extension is not in any way coded for the Linux platform, but for the Firefox as a platform, it should work just fine where you run your Firefox. By the way, this plugin was kind enough to offer me to blog "this page" directly to my blogger.com-account.<br /><br />Now, where can I find more Google applications for Linux?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35789951-116051501872744489?l=googlelinux.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pawalnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35789951.post-1160479732395706972006-10-10T13:25:00.000+02:002006-10-10T13:29:56.606+02:00Google has published a few applications for Linux. I have tried two of them on my Ubuntu installation, but did not continue to use them. They were far too much bugs for serious use.<br /><br />The applications were <a href="http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html">Google Earth</a> and <a href="http://picasa.google.com/linux/">Picasa</a>. Both of them are built on <a href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a>, a free implementation of the Windows API for unix. I know that Google has put a lot of effort in providing patches for Wine in order to make the applications work. But I would love to see native applications from Google.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35789951-116047973239570697?l=googlelinux.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pawalnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35789951.post-1160477332124212142006-10-10T12:47:00.000+02:002006-10-10T12:48:52.133+02:00I just noticed that Google has a brand new Mac blog, with all things concerning Mac and Google.
