Linux gets Google gadgets

For the first time Google are providing their famous gadgets for the Linux operating system, this is great news for most Linux users who could be forgiven in thinking that they have been left out by Google in the past.

From now on Linux users will be able to use the gadgets that have been initially written for use with the Windows operating system, except these have been open sourced, as anyone who is a Linux fan would expect.

There could be some slight problems with compatibility with some gadgets but these problems are to be sorted out, which is not going to present a problem for Linux users and no doubt the library of gadgets is going to expand at a great pace once the whole thing is up and running.
