    I would imagine they use different distributions for different purposes rather than just one across all of their datacenters.

    Their server farm uses the Google's own "distribution" with e.g. own file system

    Yeah that's my understanding also ... Google uses its own 'custom' version of LINUX

    And I'm quite sure about it since following the Google tech news is one of my hobbies.

    I don't think they use any of the known distros. Definitely custom made.

    Check out the Google Master Plan movie, if still haven't. It explains how Google works behind the scenes and how millions trust Google for their search.

    You can download the movie in many formats or view it online.
