Google is going to release a new operating system bassed on the linux

I foresee a time when opensource becomes so common, computer manufacturers

What a Marvelous and wonderful way to poke a HUUUUGE and gaping hole hole
through the Microsoft monopoly. Let us hope that Google does not attempt
to "freeze out" Ubuntu and Debian. That would result in just another
"intellectual property" monopoly.

I use linux mint. It is an elegant distro of linux, a fork off ubuntu. It
