[Klug-general] Google Releases Picasa For Linux

[Colin_The_Technician]

I just heard from a post on Digg.com
(http://digg.com/linux_unix/Google_Releases_Picasa_For_Linux) that
Pisasa has been released by Google for Linux.  It is great news that
Google is supporting Linux, and I am sure more applications will come.

Apparently the http://picasa.google.com/linux/ link is accessible only
from within the United States. As a workaround, the rest of us can use
an anonymous web proxy such as http://www.anonymization.org/
This link worked for me: http://67.18.35.242/-picasa.google.com/linux/index.html

Direct links (accessible for everyone, also those outside the US):

RPM (Red Hat/Fedora/Suse/Mandriva x86):
http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386/picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.rpm
DEB (Debian/Ubuntu x86):
http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/non-free/p/picasa/picasa_2.2.2820-5_i386.deb
BIN (Any x86 Linux distribution):
http://dl.google.com/linux/standalone/picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.bin

I just installed it and it looks extremely smooth in Ubuntu.  I just
need to get pictures on that system now to really test it.
