Is it true the Google infrastructure is based on Linux (the open-source operating system) running on personal computers?
Yes, it turns out that it's Linux and PCs that are built by hand. Which I find sort of moderately disturbing because, in my career, I've spent 20 years making that not be the correct answer. And yet it turns out that the PC is the best choice because we use desktop components and we have so many PCs that we buy incredibly cheaply. ... And Linux has a number of [advantages], including the fact that all the undergraduates coming out of the top universities now are Linux programmers. And it doesn't cost anything. So it has two things going for it.
