“n previous Ubuntu versions, there was a Google Earth
.deb package available in the Medibuntu repository; unfortunately
there is no such package for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). While
it is possible to install the Google Earth package for Ubuntu 10.04
on Ubuntu 10.10 (as described in chapter 13 of The Perfect Desktop
– Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)), there is another way of
installing Google Earth on Ubuntu 10.10. The method described in
this tutorial will create a Google Earth .deb package for Ubuntu
10.10 from which Google Earth can be installed.”
