Google Earth available for Linux (Updated)
I found this via Slashdot (Ok, this probably means everyone else found it before me…). Finally, a native version of Google Earth is available for Linux. It can be downloaded from Google’s site.
I must admit I haven’t tried it yet (too many other things to do), but I really like the fact that Google is starting to release their software for Linux. Earlier, they released Picasa for Linux and appear to have collaborated very closely with the Wine community, giving a lot of code and know-how back to Wine, thereby making it better for all of us.

P.S. - I had the time to give it a quick whirl. It runs really well and looks really great. A bit frightening, in fact. The quality of the satellite images for Germany now is excellent. In downtown Darmstadt you can almost read the sale sign on the front of the large shopping center. Anyway — Google Earth, now one less reason to boot up Windows.
