Google Chrome OS? A boon or a bane for linux community?

I think we might finally see Linux going head to head with its rivals and not trailing behind.... and also INtel Moblin already around the corner will give added exposure to LINUX. But what about existing Linux Distro's? What about Ubuntu? I guess they just have to concentrate on making the distro smooth and stable and think about making it more eye friendly.

Just my 2 cents.. What do ya think?

Google Chrome is going to be designed for netbooks. Ubuntu will not suffer.

you have some good and bad points here mate,thats if it ever takes off,but on the driver side you could be right,and it may spark interest in linux.

but most things in google chrome os are going to be centered around all their own app's im afraid.......

we will have to wait and see me thinks.....

i think google chrome will be great. the average person only knows about Mac and windows. Maybe google chrome can spark interest in linux.

Sinceramente no quiero otra distro de linux mas, pense que una empresa como Google podria hacer un sistema opeativos completamente nuevo.
