Hello Freaks,
Well having linux cluster's for search engines google
only a few weeks after releasing its first Linux application -- the
photo editing program, Picasa -- Google has released its second
application for Linux: Google Earth for Linux 4.
Unlike Picasa, however, which runs with its own bundled copy of WINE,
an open-source implementation of the Windows API (application
programming interface), Google Earth is a native Linux application.
It may not appear that way to some users, since many of the files look
like they're connected with Windows. But, a closer look shows them to
be Qt application libraries.
The result is an application that enables users to tour about the
globe. Much of North America, Australia, and Europe can now be seen
with up to 1-meter per pixel resolution.
When I zoomed in on my house, I could make out the two DirecTV dish
antennas on my roof.
Like Linux ! Use it!
