My favorite pasttime, Google Earth. Did you know you can see ruin of Atlantis via Google Earth?
Atlantis or whatever, it is very interesting. But that's not the point of this post. This post is about how to install Google Earth in Ubuntu.
First of all you need to add Medibuntu repository, open your terminal and type this command :

1. sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
2. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

Step #1 is for Ubuntu 8.10, for other Ubuntu read this manual.

After that;

1. open synaptic package manager
2. click "Origin" section and Choose package.medibuntu.com/non-free
3. search Google Earth, here you can choose version 4.2 or 4.3, I chose 4.3
4. checkmark it and apply
5. wait until Ubuntu finished the downloading and installation process (about 20MB). and then... Google Earth in Ubuntu

Google Earth 4.3

Among the list you'll find Skype, RealPlayer, Acrobat Reader, w32codecs ( a non free codecs).
