Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Goobuntu is the unofficial name of a Gnu/Linux distribution, based on the 'long term support'-versions of Ubuntu, that is used internally by Google. It adds a number of packages for in-house use, but does not have any other stark differences. 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 denied suggestions that Google has any plans to market the operating system. Almost half of the 20,000 employees of Google use Goobuntu.
