Try to use the FreeBSD wine. At this point we've strayed off-topic, since the original poster's questions have been answered. We're now in the realm of advocacy. I figure there's got to be a Google product manager who's getting weekly reports showing download statistics for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux offerings. If they're using those to gauge interest--and allocate development resources accordingly, I don't see how this helps our cause. In all fairness, I have to give Google credit for trying to make the best of a bad situation. I think we can help send the right message to the "bean counters" by resolving PR ports/108864 (so FreeBSD users will contribute to the Google Earth numbers again). -=EPS=-
