SketchUp version: 8
Operating system: Linux

I've setup a good-working sets of .deb packages of SU.

This work is (obviously) based on Wine and by a series of surrounding scripts created by me as a part of a my own project targeted to run wine-compatible softwares as smooth as possible on Linux

Here is a short video : http://lounge.soundcafe.it/it/2011/06/08/sketchup-8-su-linux-pacchettizzato/

the packages behaviour is the same as the best installation possible of SU in Wine, a part of specific lack in the various video card driver.

Now we've to ask Google if we can setup a repository ( and ask for help for improving a enable all possible feauture of SU )
