I think it’s easier just to setup the google repo and fetch it all at once. blah, blah, blah, Done. Launch it via “google-chrome” or from the gnome toolbar. That’s it for installing on Fedora 12. If you’re looking for Fedora 10 or Fedora 11, try these links…

The google repo has google-desktop-linux, google-chrome-unstable, and a ton of other packages. Or you can just open the two links in a browser and download/install them from there. You’ll find things like the kmod-VirtualBox-OSE kernel module, mythtv, xmms, vlc, ffmpeg, libmpeg2, gstreamer, and Nestopia (remember nesticle, the Nintendo emulator?) here. You can get Adobe Reader here if you want to go full retard. I use a much faster pdf reader called “Poppler” (package name is poppler) that you can get in the standard repos.

I finally got a reply to my request for Google Wave. And my first message was that I have a few invitations I can send out to friends. I had a friend that got on before me by getting an invite, but he said he didn’t get any invitations to send out. It reminds me of when gmail was beta and you got like 99 invitations to send to other people. So is there anyone out there that wants an invite?
