Google Picasa For Linux

Written by Michael Larabel in Google on 26 May 2006 at 01:00 AM EDT. Add A Comment

Using WINE, with modifications by Codeweavers, Google Labs has ported the popular Picasa photo software over to Linux. The Picasa Linux download includes WINE, Gecko Engine, and the Windows software itself. While still in Beta form, this is excellent news for Linux desktop users. Perhaps Google will begin porting additional pieces of their software over to Linux -- such as Google Earth. More information on the Linux version of Picasa is at Google Labs.
