"Unlike some of Google’s recent Linux applications like
Picassa and Google Earth, Google Desktop for Linux is a native
Linux application not dependant on Wine. Desktop for Linux
officially supports Debian 4.0, Fedora Core 6, Ubuntu 6.10, SUSE
10.1, and Red Flag 5, but easily runs on most other Linux
distrubitions that has glibc 2.3.2+ and gtk+ 2.2.0+. Similar to the
native Beagle search program, Google Desktop provides near
instantaneous search results on files and folders that you are
looking for."
