Goobuntu
February 1, 2006
I heard speculations that Google is about to enter the Desktop Operating System market by launching Goobuntu, its own Linux distribution based on the popular distro Ubuntu but less than 24 hours later a Google spokeswoman rejected such plans.
Too bad, I was really looking forward to Goobuntu, despite the ridiculous name.
I’ve always wanted to switch to Linux but never actually did because I can’t live without my Adobe (and Macromedia) creative suite. WINE didnt quite work for me because I’d like to work with a software not fight it.
Read more about the Goobuntu hoax on the Ubuntu blog.
P.S. For those who are wondering about the new layout: Some readers complained that the old theme, called “Hemingway”, puts strain on the eyes so I decided to switch to a simple, clean layout.

hi,
ubuntu is fun, you won’t feel any difference. but as you prefer adobe stuff, better not to move on ubuntu…
anyway, though one alternative but not a recommended way.. just use VMWare from ubuntu to launch windows and adobe stuff…
best wishes
