GoogleOS IS Linux. Currently it’s Ubuntu.

Yes, as Anderiod for smartphones is Linux with Java.
It is something to be careful of and I would run a “generic” version of Ubuntu — not one from Google.

Javascript and HTML/CSS actually. Mrs. Knitebane has a Samsung Moment with Android 1.x.

I have two desktops, one notebook, one netbook, four servers and a home-built DVR that all run Ubuntu. And I still use Google for email, chat, documents, meetings and calendaring because they do it really well and all of their APIs are open. I can take my data and go somewhere else anytime something better comes along.
