On my windows machines i run a excellent free programme called Desktop earth ,it updates the global cloud layer every few hours .

i just used the deb file and it installed no probs ,(ubuntu 11.10 - gnome classic) works great with lots different earth themes and settings tweaks.
The developers site also has DL's for other linux flavers like rpm's , source ,etc ,plus all the settings explained.

like Desktop earth probably better to turn it off when gaming

cheers
