May I add a thing that I do NOT understand... I've had the priviledge of running Picasa now and then under an otherwise fully functional and sound Windows XP with lots of memory and all. I usually run Picasa under openSuSE11.3 (and many others). I've noticed that several operations in Picasa runs SIGNIFICANTLY faster under wine/linux that does the native Win thing. In particular printing IS a lot faster as is normal editing/retouching operations. I just don't get it...but I'm happy with it :-) -- ---------------------------------------------- Verner Kjærsgaard Open Source Academy www.zorum.dk www.os-academy.dk www.bryllupbornholm.dk +45 20145551 ---------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
