I read the Mossberg Report in the WSJ about Linux also. Sadly I must
accept the negativity about various Linux Distro's and ease of use /
configuration. But, I'm in it for a science end, not because it's simple.

Interesting vaporware announcement by Google:

"Wow. So you know all those whispers about a Google desktop operating
system that never seem to go away? You thought they might with the
launch of Android, Google’s mobile OS. But they persisted. And for
good reason, because it’s real.
"In the second half of 2010, Google plans to launch the Google Chrome
OS, an operating system designed from the ground up to run the Chrome
web browser on netbooks. “It’s our attempt to re-think what operating
systems should be,” Google writes tonight on its blog."

Linux kernel, intended for x86 and ARM platforms, open source. Sounds
like an interesting project. Don't miss the link to the Google blog.
