Google Earth For Linux

Written by Michael Larabel in Google on 12 June 2006 at 01:00 AM EDT. Add A Comment

After Google had released Picasa for GNU/Linux using WINE as an emulation layer, they have now released Google Earth 4 Beta and with that comes native Linux support. Our friend Icculus (Ryan Gordon) has apparently been working for Google on this port, and was his secret project. WINE was not used in this Google Earth port. Icculus' post can be found here and also at Google.
