The Incredible Story of Scott Kveton: Linux, Firefox, Bacon & iPhones
,----[ Quote ]
| When Kveton was 31 years old he founded the
| Open Source Lab at Oregon State University in
| Corvallis. After working at various big tech
| companies for a few years, he had joined the
| University and cut its hardware budget by 75%
| the previous year - just by buying open source
| Linux servers. The school decided to put the
| budget surplus back into the paradigm that
| made the difference. Then Google, IBM and
| other big companies started giving the new Lab
| money to host open source projects they were
| working on. Soon Kveton had a staff of 25
| students and contacts all over the Open Source
| world. That was 6 years ago and those contacts
| have been invaluable throughout the rest of
| his career.
|
| [...]
|
| After continued success hosting other open
| source projects (like Drupal) at the Lab,
| Kveton decided he wanted to try something
| entrepreneurial.

| Google's operating system will use a Linux
| kernel
|
| Google Chrome OS will also consider a
| distribution of Linux, which is based on
| kernel / kernel of Linux. On this Linux
| kernel, it will run the windows and web
| applications from Google Chrome OS. Since
| Google Chrome an OS kernel using Linux, your
| video should be released to the public, so
| everyone who wants can have access to it.
| Also, Google Chrome OS must also be free,
| something that surely will encourage many
| people to use Google's operating system.
