The only Google love for "goobuntu" is this link
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/dulug/2005-November/016656.html
which appears to have nothing to do with Google, rather it seems to be
about source-based Ubuntu.

As for the numbers, that would rank us along with Mandriva, which
claim 6 to 8 million users. I think we are actually lower than that,
but there is no good way to track this.
