Google Earth Is Going To Be Ported To Linux?

**Harold P** · May 29th, 2006

According to this page, it will be. Just search for "Earth", and you'll find it.

It's one of those programs I missed when I made to transfer over to ubuntu. www.flashearth.com doesn't cut it for me (flash is a resource hog!)

Yea, I just hope they don't charge for the software itself.

I'm pretty sure China made the decision with Google, not the other way around.

My bet is that they'll "port" using winelib which is about the same as saying "**** you very much"

Why?
What's so terrible about winelib?
