Re: why dont linux make a search engine

Actually Keith, Linux isn't even an operating system. It's the kernel around which each distro builds an operating system.

Your point is absolutely correct though. Linux isn't a single entity and is maintained by volunteers, whether the kernel itself or the distros based on it.

Besides which, creating and supporting a search engine is a very different challenge from writing an OS and presumably involves massively more investment in hardware.
