Google working on desktop linux?

It looks like Google is working on a Linux desktop distribution based on Ubuntu. It'll be interesting to see whether it is actually true and if true, what Google's plans are. If they end up releasing a distro, I doubt I'll switch to it - I think the various distributors are doing a quite good job already :)

Update: Looks like The Register story was yet another Google rumour - Google have no plans to distribute their own Linux distribution. They do use Ubuntu at the "GooglePlex" though.

Second update: The story of course hit Slashdot where Chris Dibona quickly explained. Among other things, it would take ressources away from their moon teleporter project :)
