OK Stephen - here are instructions that should get you up & running with
Picasa and automatic updates.

Download Google's GPG public key from here:
http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/aboutkey.html
You should see the linux_signing_key.pub on that page - right click &
Save Link As to get it.

Then add the key to your "Trusted Software Providers" list by going to
the System Menu -> Administration -> Software Sources.
Click the Authentication tab
Click Import Key File
Select the .pub file that you just downloaded & click OK.
The Google, Inc gpg key will now be in your Trusted Software Providers
list

Now click the Other Software tab
Click the Add button
Paste Google's APT line into the dialogue box that pops up:

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main

Click OK
Click Close
You'll get a message saying the "information about available software is
out of date" - click the Reload button.

Grand - now you are able to install Google's linux software - although
you might need to use a terminal to do so.

sudo apt-get install picasa

Hope this helps
