Google Desktop Released For Linux

Barry Schwartz reports that Google has released the first Linux version of Google Desktop, which will run on Debian 4.0, Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu 6.10, SUSE 10.1, and Red Flag 5 and was developed by Google’s Beijing engineers.
The Linux version does not contain the Google Sidebar and Google Gadget support, and is in fact nearly identical to the Mac version, not the PC version. It indexes your hard drive and lets you search it instantly in your browser, has a Quick Search box that pops up if you tap CTRL twice, indexes Gmail and Web History, and caches old file versions.
