It's not native Linux support though AFAIK. They are supported through wine.
No. It's a native port and uses Qt + OpenGL. It's been ported by Ryan C. Gordon of icculus (http://icculus.org/cgi-bin/finger/finger.pl?user=icculus) who is very well known for his native Linux ports. Regards, BG
If non-free-source status of google earth bothers you, have a look at http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ from nasa. Wonderful opensource multi-platform app.
Ironically the free-source app gets its data from a TerraServerUSA of Microsoft. :)
