Jad,
ReplyDeleteThis is just another Google rumor. According to Ars Technica, Google spokeswoman Sonya Bor?lEitherway said that "[w]e use Ubuntu internally but have no plans to distribute it outside of the company."
Even if correct why would you be so interested in using a 20% beta product of google? that would soon be flushed out of their products list. Stick with the original mate ;)
