    How come, when you did a search as the forum guidelines tell you to, you didn't find this thread?: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4291&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=picasa

    For my advice, I had a little trouble installing it. because Aspire One's linux is lite edition, many libraries are missing, the RPM manager will automatically install them via the Internet. However, the process will be slow if you are on a slow connection, for me, i am using a 56k connection, so i need to take it out to the Internet coffee shop to access the high speed internet. then i am able to install them. the same as skype! ;)

    You shouldn't have any problems doing this. Do a google search for 'picasa linux', and download and install 'Picasa 3 beta'. The only problem I've had is that I can't get it (so far!) to appear in any menu, so in order to run it you'll have to use 'run program' from the desktop menu using the command picasa. Good luck.
