Picasa for Linux released
Google has finally released Picasa for Linux. I have installed it onto my CentOS box, but have not had a chance to really play with it. So far, all I can say is that it looks identical to the Windows version and it sets itself as a resident program with an icon in the taskbar area in Gnome. This means that to launch Picasa you don’t need to go to the applications menu, instead, you just need to double click on the little taskbar icon.
Picasa for Linux uses a modified version of wine so it is not a true port. However, in the process of making the app work under wine, Google was able to contribute back a lot of patches to the Wine project. As soon as I get sometime to play with it more I will post a full review.
