Goobuntu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ubuntu derivative that was once used internally within Google
Not to be confused withGobuntu orChromeOS.

Goobuntu was aLinux distribution based onUbuntu LTS (long-term support). It was used by almost 10,000Google employees.[1] It added a number of packages for in-house use, including security features and disabled the installation of some applications, but was otherwise similar.Thomas Bushnell, a Google technical leader for the company's Linux desktops, displayed Goobuntu at LinuxCon 2012. Bushnell explained that "Goobuntu is simply a light skin over standard Ubuntu."[2]

Some suggested Google might plan to market the distribution more widely, but Goobuntu was never officially released.[3][4][5] While both Google andMark Shuttleworth, who spearheaded the development of Ubuntu, confirmed the existence of Goobuntu,[6] both denied that Google had any plans to market theoperating system.[7]

Mark Shuttleworth confirmed that Google has contributedpatches to Ubuntu.[6]

Google usedPuppet to manage its installed base of Goobuntu machines.[2]

In 2018, Google replaced Goobuntu withgLinux, a Linux distribution based onDebian Testing.[8]
