Will google linux b successful?
I missed that one. I've been following Google's adventures into operating systems for months but the Linux one has slipped by me. I just did a search and you're on the button. Google Australia is advertising for Linux engineers and one blog in the UK reported on it. My sources have been talking about something completely different. A Google OS to connect directly with the Internet. It's suggested it will be via a Set Top Box with payment being made through newsagents etc. The cost is muted at around $5, 10 per month. This is for people who only want the Internet, not PC users as such. All you will need is a keyboard. All storage, software etc., will be online so you can take your keyboard wherever you go. Google have been purchasing all the unused fibre optic cable in the world and they're currently laying a cable to Australia.





Firefox and Google will probably merge, but Thunderbird will get the flick. It's interesting about Linux because I thought that many people would probably opt for the Google Internet setup and go for a Play Station for home media. Linux is a logical choice. I hope it happens and happens fast. The sooner I can rid myself of Microsoft the better. They've been ripping us off for too long.





In answer to your question, yes it has to be successful. No game or media developers have made software for Linux because they've been in bed with Microsoft and Linux is free. Once google puts it name to Linux officially, everything will be immediately available on that os.
Reply:Yes. People trust Google a lot these days. Their technical prowess is creating awe among the masses. Considering that, Google's distro should be successful.





Other GNU/Linux distros will stand a lot to learn from it if it really comes out.
Reply:I think it will be.. not everyone is into windows. We got 4 pc's %26amp;1 laptop (hubby is pc tech) the only pc with windows is my own.
