It's an open source equivalent of Google Earth (from what I can see). Right now it only runs on Windows..NET, but presumably could be ported to Linux/MONO with some effort.
But what a great thing to have running on Linux!! I'd certainly be game to assist with the port. I have C, C++ GIS and OpenGL experience. Please cc: quinton@hoole.biz with replies, as I don't read this forum much.

Google Earth is now available for Linux. http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html Just download the bin file. It works like a charm here! Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper GeForce 6600 GT
I add this qualification to the instructions of cassini83: download the .bin file, MAKE IT EXECUTABLE, and it works like a charm. If you want it for one user, put it in the user's home directory. If you want it global for all users, perhaps /usr/local would be a better location.
But, it does work like a charm.
PS. The resolution isn't great enough for good views of the nude beaches of the Mediterranian Sea. Bummer!
