Google Loves Linux! Got Linux Search Engine for You!

Google, the Search Engine Giant, uses Linux internally!

Also for Linux, Google has completely isolated Search Portal (or Sub-directory), which can be attributed as Google’s Linux Search Engine.

Whatever you type in this Search Engine, you will get results which are completely dedicated to Linux World only.

For accessing Linux Search Engine, just go to the following URL:

http://www.google.com/linux

Here each and every Search Keywords will fetch results which matches Linux Content Only. So, if you are a Linux Freak or are planning to switch to any one of the Linux Distros, than this Search Engine is just for you!

Example:

See the Difference yourself in Search Engine Results, when I searched for the Term Goobuntu in Google.com and Google.com/linux

You can see that Google.com/linux yields results only from those Blogs/Websites/Pages/Posts which are completely dedicated to Linux.

As I mentioned in the First Line of this Post, Google is powered by Operating System Goobuntu, which is based on Ubuntu Linux Distro. Following is an description of Goobuntu, as taken from Wikipedia:

Goobuntu is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu that Google uses internally. Some have suggested that Google might plan to market the distribution more widely. While both Google and Mark Shuttleworth, creator of Ubuntu, have confirmed that Goobuntu exists and is used internally, both have strongly refuted suggestions that Google has any plans to market the operating system. Almost half of the 20,000 employees of Google use Goobuntu.

Mark Shuttleworth has confirmed that Google contributes patches to Ubuntu but noted that while some Google employees use this modified version of Ubuntu, others use modified versions of other Linux distributions. Google has supported Ubuntu through the Ubucon conferences and in other ways. Although Shuttleworth and Google representatives have denied any plans to release Goobuntu outside the company, it has nonetheless inspired ongoing speculation about Google entering the operating system business.

So, Enjoy Linux Search Engine and Linux Users feel proud, that your Favorite Search Engine and it’s services are powered by Linux!
