For example, I was looking for a sticky notes gadget but could not find one. On a Google site, I found something called MultiNote that would do the job, but how do I get Google Gadgets to read in the downloaded file (MultiNote.gg)? Hi,

We run *nix because we want a nice lightweight OS that can do everything we need it to. If the gadgets just bog it down, then what would be the point. I'm sure the gadgets run and look great but what is the point of all of that if we could just do anything they do without them and using half the resources. I am going to go get them to put on my PCLinuxOS box as well as my Gentoo box to see how well they run. I guess only time will tell on if Google's effort will be worth it.
