GoogleOS IS Linux. Currently it's Ubuntu.

I've got it running in a VM and after you figure out a way to get past the browser and into the OS, it's a pretty standard installation of Ubuntu.

Basically it's just Linux that boots up into the Chrome browser instead of a desktop. Just like a Cisco router boots up into a proprietary application rather than a Bourne shell.

Microsoft is just as liberal.
