As far as i know the Google Desktop application is platform independent that is you can run it on any of the operating system like windows or Linux etc. The Google desktop will allow you to search files and all other stuffs including the email, and recently viewed webpages you simply had to download it from the link http://desktop.google.com/linux/ according to the package may be an rpm or deb.

Thanks for the reply i got a sigh of relief since the Google Desktop is application compatible with the Linux environment i think that you two did not read the question properly since you both answered only one part of my question. I had also asked you about the installation packages please tell me the installation procedure as soon as possible.
