Google Working on a Desktop Linux - Goobuntu

August 25, 2007

Google is preparing its own Ubuntu distribution of Linux for the desktop called Goobuntu, based on Debian and the Gnome desktop.

Google could possibly take on Microsoft in its core business which is desktop software.

Google have refused to release any further details at the moment, but it is possible that Google plans to distribute Goobuntu to the general public.

However, entering the desktop software world would be a huge step and would require a lot of work to make Goobuntu as easy to use as XP.

Whatever Google’s intentions, the input of Google engineers and developers, writing new features and fixing bugs, will be a huge boost to the Ubuntu project.

Ubuntu, funded by the South African Internet multimillionaire and occasional cosmonaut Mark Shuttleworth, is already emerging as a leader in the desktop Linux world.
