Google Earth for Linux
Finally, after months of waiting, almost giving up on the thought of a Linux version of the application that brought maps, satellite images and aerial photographs to the masses, it’s here: Google Earth (Release 4 - BETA), now also available for GNU/Linux!
Still in beta version, it’s a bliss to see Google Earth running on my SUSE Linux 9.2 laptop. No longer does one have to consider installing Microsoft Windows just for running Google Earth. All good things come to those who wait.
Besides now being available on all major platforms, the new beta version implements an improved and simplified user interface.
Anyways, gotta go. I have lots of catching up to do in exploring the vast universe of geoinformation in Google Earth.
Via Ogle Earth and Google Earth Blog straight from the Google Geo Developer Day in Mountain View, California.
