Desktop Linux has an interesting story for Linux users, Google Desktop arrives on Linux.

Google has finally released a long-awaited native Linux application: Google Desktop for Linux. As with the already shipping OS X and Windows versions, Google Desktop enables Linux users to search for text inside documents, local email messages, their Web history, and their Gmail accounts.

Now what I'm not certain is whether this is a good thing or bad thing.  Call me paranoid but I'm just not comfortable inviting an online service to search my desktop whether the OS is either Linux or Windows.  If you prefer to have convenience over security then please feel free to download it at Google.
