Gawd help us. [?] I'll try this time.
The latest version of Picasa for MSFT Windows which is 3.8, will run under wine on Linux the same as the 3.0b version (available as download from Google as the Linux version). Google has always used the windows version with their version of wine for the Linux product. So what is being said is there is no difference between the windows version of Picasa and Picasa Linux. All Picasa Linux does is run under a Google Wine instance. Now Google has stopped packaging a Linux version at 3.0 beta. However most of us just install the 3.8 windows version ourselves, then we're capable of doing what any Windoze user can do with Picasa. Understood? So as you were told previously download the Windows version and install it under the Wine instance on your Linux distro. Then you're done.
