| Re: This company is a beast! Their house version of Linux is said to be Debian based and is their own installation of chosen applications.
I doubt that the Linux that Google uses in house would be much different from Ubuntu (my current distro of choice) except for their own applications that are installed on it. | |

| Re: This company is a beast! Uh, no. If you read what I said, I have heard that the house version of Linux is Debian based.
I have never seen much more than screenshots. I do however doubt that there is anything so special about it that they would feel the need to pass it on to the general public. It is likely not functionally different from something like Ubuntu.
What part of that hangs in your head? And yes, I do know someone. Just never felt a real need to ask specifics about the Linux distro that is on his computer. | |

I am trying to find out what is different about the Linux version that is used at the Goog. I'll post back if I find out. | |
