Google Desktop For Linux

Written by Michael Larabel in Google on 28 June 2007 at 07:46 AM EDT. 3 Comments

We told you a few weeks ago that Google would be introducing new Linux applications in the very near future after seeing some interesting slides back at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. What is this new program to be released? Google has written a Linux-native version of Google Desktop. This GTK closed-source program allows you to search files on your desktop, open files, and find other information. However, it currently lacks some features found in the Google Desktop for Mac OS X and Windows. You can download the Linux Google Desktop from Google.
