I am trying to install Google Earth for Linux. <BR>
I downloaded it form the Internet & it's on my desktop right now & I can't figure out how to install it.<BR>
It reads - GoogleEarthLinux.bin - when I click on properties it reads it's a shell script. I tried the directions below <BR>
with no success. Please advise - I am new to Linux.<BR>
