That is an EXCELLENT idea.

The ads on google are already getting to be a drag, and I know for a fact
that they leave out one HELL of a lot of websites.

The GNU GOOGLE

GNUGLE ?

should clearly identify commercial websites and put them in a seperate
category- Catalogs.

If you can find the public funding, I'll take my search engine code and
build it.

It will take:

$2k~$20K per month for ISP hosting.
$5K per 2U machine, with disk, we'll need about a hundred or two of them.
We'll need a great deal with the ISP for bandwidth, because we will be
crawling 4 billion pages on a regular basis.
We'll need a 24x7 on-line admin
We'll need a few web guys and a couple SQL guys, standard salary.
We could probably launch in 6 months.

There would be no need for GNUGLE to be available to the general public.

Just to Linux users.

Ask yourself this question John :

For a community that promotes freedom and openness, that would be extremely
restrictive.

And how would you even know if a client is a Linux user?

Why can't you address your posts to the group
instead of to *me* in particular?

Can't you speak like an adult?

If you want to harangue me personally, my email address
is ja*****@earthli nk.net.
If you want to propose a general comment, go ahead.

There's plenty of intelligent people here...

IPOs are notorious for being manipulated. Microsoft may still end up
with a large enough block of Google stock to control it.

What failure? Linux aside (because it isn't all that there is to GNU
software by a long shot), much of the internet is running on GNU/Open
source software.

Ask yourself this question: Seeing as how the basic operating principles
of Google are pretty well known, why can't a software company with a
bottomless R&D budget build their own competing product?

I thought we were promoting Linux.
And how would you even know if a client is a Linux user?

That would be established when they signed up for access to the search
engine.
