I doubt that the Linux that Google uses in house would be much different from Ubuntu...
Why would Google want to run a binary distro? Because thats what you run?

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.

Re: This company is a beast!

Ah, my apologies dualsub2006 See Profile. I read your OP too quickly and was in not in the best of moods this afternoon. My apologies for jumping on you and being a d*ck. I'm sorry.

No worries mate.

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.

It actually is a modified version of Ubuntu. There are those that use Suse and Fedora and likely others, but Ubuntu is what it is.
