Same here, I was messin around on fedora and being a linux noob, I use google to find answers to questions I have.
I thought for sure I'd see/. article, "ZOMG GOOGLE HAXED" then I realized, I could still access gmail. Logged back in to XP/Vista and had the same problem accessing the search engine, but not other services.
Why is it doing so well? Because people want something like windows, something that "just works" while still sticking it to the man (M$).*
I'm still quit the linux n00blet, but I love Slackware. I love working on the command line when I want to change something with my operating system. That way I know exactly what a button should be doing when you click on it.
Some people just want their computer to work, no questions or configurations asked. That's the "Ubuntu crowd." I prefer to gain the knowledge of how to get crap to work right, so I guess that puts me in the "Slackware Crowd."
I'm only 24, but I got a plan. Do IT till I can get my own computer cafe / gaming center funded.
Imagine... All the coffee, Bawls, Monster, kickass computers and good music (for the late nighters) I could want.
I was thinking of making weekends like allnighters where we could play some kickass techno/dance/whatever music while I and the customers frag each other up all night.

Here's the live webcast. There was a video earlier of the computer/network hardware used, pretty nifty.

*Ubuntu, like Windows, doesn't work all the time.

They have the right to remain silent, too.
