I really don\'t have an opinion on this yet, just thought it was worth a post.  Maybe we can spark up a converstion about it.

Google Linux ?

Looks nice, but why not use regular Google? All that google linux seems to do is filter out non-linux related results. They should just make it an option in google search.

It would be nice to have it just as an option.

Another thing Google has done... they used to DEFAULT to the language you spoke so that if you wanted French you would the FIRST TIME type
http://www.google.com/fr

Then the NEXT time you typed http://www.google.com you would automatically get French. I thought that was really cool.

NOW, they have the URL http://www.google.com/intl/fr and it does not default unless you absolutely specifically tell it to.

Their gmail interface is also getting a little bit clunky and old compared to Yahoos, but I still love my gmail :)

Edit: Hmmm... I seem to have gotten google stuck in French mode :(
Edit 2: Fixed it :)

They also read your browser setting and you still will not see the listings that people from France would see.  :confused:

Significance of Google Linux

Over a year later and am still looking for the significance of this Google Linux thing.  Has anyone had an epiphany on this they would like to share?
