With all the focus on Google right now I thought I'd write a nice howto with the latest version of Picasa running on Wine.  Interestingly enough, Picasa recognizes that it is running on Linux even though it is running through Wine.


Installation is very simple just imitate the following below:

20:28 christoff:~ > wine --version
wine-1.1.3
20:28 christoff:~ > winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/nick/.wine'
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/nick/.wine' has been updated.
20:29 christoff:~ > wget http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa3-setup.exe

And now for some snapshots of it running with Wine!
