Google recently created their own Linux software repositories to streamline the use of Google software in Linux. Google's repos make it very easy to download and stay up-to-date with current releases of Google software. In layman's terms this means you can now install and update Google software using "typical" installation commands like: apt-get install picasa. You can quickly add the Google repos to your distro's installation configuration file (sources.list in Ubuntu) and be on your way. Google has tutorials for all major distros including: Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, and RPM.

It's a pitty that almost all their software is propietary, I don't really trust google software.
BTW does the Saigon Linux Group have some Ubuntu repositories available? At the moment I'm using the one of the openlab.

Best regards.
The Ubuntu repositories should be completed by this weekend, Just boosted the disk space by adding another 250GB :-)
