There is no version for Linux, never was. All it was is the windows version
tweaked to run in the provided WINE binaries.
Many of us have installed the 3.8 version successfully on our Linux boxen.
Just for curious -- can I install 3.8 separately from 3.0 or does it
insist on installing it over 3.0?
AND,
I believe that google has ceased development of picasa in lu of picnic, ie
remote apps or *cloud* apps.
I don't trust clouds. I used picnic ONCE, which was more than enough.
Why do people keep throwing in eye candy when all people really want is
an efficient function? Or maybe I'm wrong...
I also believe in *conspiracy* theorem :^)
Me too.
I think that google is a much younger M$ and is getting people to become
dependent on them to the point that they will gain some of your bank
account. And the more slowly this develops, the greator the dependency
will be and the $$$s realized.
M$ let the theft (bootleg copies of win 3.0, 3.01, 3.+++, 95, 98) go on to
the point that now very few computers are manufactured w/o them getting
their cut which is a significant amount of the purchase price.
I remember hearing that there wasn't a single legal copy of windows 3.x
in the entire nation of Israel and that M$ knew it and LIKED it.
No idea how they could find that out, but I do know that when my husband
was selling assemblers back in the dark ages he sold a copy to ONE user
in Chicago and that maybe a year later there was an announcement of a
meeting for the Illinois user group in one of the free computer mags.
After he saw that he refused to sell anything to anybody in Illinois --
if they wanted his stuff they'd have to get a friend in Tennessee or
something to order it. That's probably regarded as discriminatory now,
so it's a good thing that nobody needs MSDOS cross assemblers any more.
Note that many/most of google apps are not really open-source, but just
free. A small step to change that. :^(
BUT few *really* know....
What really gripes me about google is that I have one public account for
spam-catching uses (such as this group) and one more-or-less public
account for uses that involve real money. When I do a google function
it assumes that I'm now using the identity I used last for any purpose
whatsoever, and which is generally WRONG. It would be nice if they used
separate cookies for each account -- certainly faster than having to log
out and log in again. </rant>
