The Register reports that Google is working on a version of Ubuntu, known internally as Goobuntu. Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project, but declined to supply further details, including what the project is for. Is Google about to release this as an alternative to Windows?
If it is going to be based on Ubuntu, then chances are it will be using GNOME as the default desktop. It will be worth a look once the projects released, but KDE would have been a far better choice. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
