I have good news for you, picasa has *never* been "made for linux". I was merely a windows exe packaged with a tweaked version of wine. It is no big problem installing the current windows version of picasa in linux via wine and has been documented quite well here and other places. > I think that Google should push it's Linux connection more.

Google doesn't want to "dent" windows.
