Ray -- Gears is a client side only plugin for these web browsers ( http://code.google.com/apis/gears/gears_faq.html#supportedSystems). If your OS doesn't have a supported browser, I don't know that you will have any options; certainly not any easy ones, at least. What exactly are you trying to use Gears for? Just to get user location? I think it might make more sense to use the AJAX API for getting the client's location, though that only going to give you a very general location based on the IP of the client.
