 I don't really care, I just want to know that recent versions of
 Picasa/Win will work under the last version of wine provided with the
 linux version.  What I don't want to do is get into a mess of
 configuration/additional libraries/modification/recompilation crap
 for what seems to be marginal benefit.

to get picasa 3.6 running on linux, all that is required is:
    wine picasa36-setup.exe

anything else is dressing  :^)

OK, I'll give it a shot when I get the energy, but if it goes all pear-shaped I'm going to blame YOU.

what distro/ver are you running that you had that much trouble installing
the chrome browser?

Slackware with fvwm95. I like the way it works WHEN IT'S FINALLY WORKING, but nothing is EVER easy. My live-in consultant uses Slackware, but hates X and refuses to use it unless it's absolutely essential. I distrust RPMs because the damn things can never find the right libraries even though they're there where slackware likes them, so I have to make links if nodeps doesn't work.

Moreover, the motherboard (I assume) is flakey and won't recognize SATA drives, insists that additional drives be hdg and hdh, and the USB connections are iffy. </whine>

openSUSE 11.2 x86_64
rpm -Uvh chromium-6.0.443.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm

installed and running

Is there any real advantage over firefox?
