When my computer blew up, I built out an Ubuntu Hardy box for the meantime. I’m thinking this is what I’ll go with when I rebuild the computer when the warranteed parts come in. I just installed Picasa 3 beta and so far it seems every bit as feature-rich as the Windows version. If you want to install it and you’re using a debian-based system (apt-get) then I recommend that you install from google’s beta repository. It’s easy!

edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the repository listed here. You’ll then need to install google’s pgp sigining key. use wget to retrieve it. OK so I was lame with the no-check thing, but I’m not worried.

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub --no-check-certificate

sudo apt-key add linux_signing_key.pub

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install picasa

Done!
