Linux: un sistema operativo potente y gratuito

Linux: El sistema operativo que usas sin saberlo Desde la llegada de los sistemas operativos, las computadoras se volvieron más accesibles para el público general. Con Windows y sus interfaces gráficas, su uso se masificó hasta el punto en que hoy casi todo el mundo tiene un ordenador en casa. Pero hay un sistema operativo que probablemente usas todos los días sin siquiera notarlo: Linux. A…

Instant WebKiosk and Webconverger are browser-based Linux distributions often used in web kiosks and digital signage. Thinstation is a minimalist distribution designed for thin clients. Rocks Cluster Distribution is tailored for high-performance computing clusters.

There are general-purpose Linux distributions that target a specific audience, such as users of a specific language or geographical area. Such examples include Ubuntu Kylin for Chinese language users and BlankOn targeted at Indonesians. Profession-specific distributions include Ubuntu Studio for media creation and DNALinux for bioinformatics. There is also a Muslim-oriented distribution of the name Sabily that consequently also provides some Islamic tools. Certain organizations use slightly specialized Linux distributions internally, including GendBuntu used by the French National Gendarmerie, Goobuntu used internally by Google, and Astra Linux developed specifically for the Russian army.

Google's Linux workstations are switching from Ubuntu to Debian

Google’s Linux workstations are switching from Ubuntu to Debian

Like many companies, Google uses a variety of operating systems in-house. macOS and Windows are used by a large number of employees, a modified build of Debian Linux is used on its servers (as of 2014, at least), and Chrome OS and Android devices are commonplace. In work environments where Linux is needed, Google uses a customized version of Ubuntu 14.04 called ‘Goobuntu,’ which has never been…

Google Ditches Goobuntu Linux For Debian-Based gLinux

t’s not a hidden fact that Google has been using Ubuntu-based Linux distribution called Goobunu for years. The home-baked distribution used by Google engineers is like a light skin on top of Ubuntu Linux LTS releases. The company has been a customer of Canonical as part of the Ubuntu Advantage Program, so it shouldn’t come as […]

No More Ubuntu! Debian is the New Choice For Google’s In-house Linux Distribution

After more than five years with Ubuntu, Google is replacing Goobuntu with gLinux, a Linux distribution based on Debian Testing release.

As MuyLinux reports, gLinux is being built from the source code of the packages and Google introduces its own changes to it. The changes will also be contributed to the upstream.

This ‘news’ is not really new. It was announced in Debconf’17 in August last year. Somehow the story did not get the attention it deserves.

It is, however, a move from a "stable" distro to a more "beta" distro. It is a version between stable and bleeding edge developer. It's probably the same reason why I moved from Linux Mint to Manjaro - I get my upstream updates quite a bit quicker.

A Google vai abandonar o Ubuntu e passar a usar o Debian

A Google sempre foi uma apoiadora do Linux e dos sistemas abertos. Para mostrar esse apoio desenvolve e baseia muitos dos seus sistemas operacionais e serviços no Linux, contribuindo também para o seu desenvolvimento e correção de falhas.

Internamente, os funcionários são encorajados a usar também o Linux, neste caso com uma distribuição própria da Google, o Goobuntu, baseada no Ubuntu. Este…

It's no secret that Google uses Linux a lot. It's Android and Chrome OS operating systems are powered by Linux, so they need to use a GNU/Linux distro to work on its other OSes for laptops and mobile phones.

What linux distribution is best for AI and Machine Learning Researchers? If we assume you are asking this academically and not for personal use, here’s some information you might find edifying.

Up till recently, Google was using Goobuntu, a Googlized version of Ubuntu Linux, on all their in-house super powerful mainframe AI computers.

Now, however, Google has dropped their platform built on Ubuntu and switched to a Debian derivative called gLinux, effectively cutting out the middle man.

IBM’s Watson, the huge AI supercomputer, uses SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Microsoft is said to be developing their own Linux-based operating system for their in-house computers which makes up their Cortana as well as the websites where MS sells Windows (ironic).

So when you talk to Google Assistant on your Android phone, talk to Cortana on your Windows device, or wonder how Watson won a round at Jeopardy on TV, know it’s all based on Linux. Each one uses a different version of Linux.

As for big mainframe file servers, the obvious choice for mainframe programmers would be the Btrfs file system.

By the way all of the top 100 mainframe computers in the world now use Linux.

The particular version is up to the administrators. No one version tops the other.

Below are images of IBM Watson playing Jeopardy on TV (left) and the actual Watson Mainframe running Linux on the right. Click to enlarge.
