Google working on "Goobuntu" by Kryptonate on 01-31-2006 at 05:56 PM
News has spread (and it is already confirmed by Google!) that Google is working on "Goobuntu", a linux distro based on Ubuntu.
It's not known if it will be a public distro or just for inside the company itself.

It will be an OS based on Linux. And just like other Linux distro's you will be able to install it on any pc you like.

it will be basicly a Google Branded Ubuntu distro and probably supplyed with some google software, google has been working together with open-source developers for some time now. im saying in that case that a Google Branded OS has mabee been on the cards for a while "anyway Google has wanted to 1-UP microsoft for about 6 or 7 months now according to the tech press".
