Google style O.S. by 'Good OS LLC'

hmmmmmmm??

full details here!

interesting...i like google,it does me well :)
after the smallest amount of research i discovered its not google....you fool murtle!

As I thought a linux distro with a nice user interface and I imagine easy setup. Others are avalible but of course do not have the same brand behind them. A good way though to introduce people to linux and a non ms system without having to buy a mac.

so who is going to try it first??

it's not google though, just google style

"gOS is a Linux distribution created by 'Good OS LLC', a Los Angeles-based corporation. The company advertises it as "An alternative OS with Google Apps and other Web 2.0 apps for the modern user."

thanks kboy ;)

downloading as we speak :D

looks interesting, with google docs and firefox you're more or less covered if you're an average user. Didn't read too close about it, but all I can think of the might be missing are

icq & msn support? http://www.pidgin.im/ does that

flash in the browser?

download and watch movies? supported

Installing :D

Fkn nerds.

so how you like the new OS hippy? ;)

I use Windows XPee. What new OS?

(Oh fsck just blown my cover as a computer geek)

talking of geeks, hael your icon thingy rocks

boots off the CD or you can install it, for those that want to try but not feck your system

There are rumours that Google is building an OS of it's own. an Ubuntu variant - as that is what they use in the office and to power servers etc.

Google has always been a big linux user. When they first started they had a load of old desktops cobbled together to build the server(s) and I think they ran on that model for a long time. Using cheap commodity part which they can just add in extra nodes when needed, keeps the system flexible. What they do now I don't know. It would be nice to think they still have the original servers running away somewhere still doing there bit occasionally. I expect they have died.

its a nice little os, but feels kinda booth style. but handy for having on a spare pc at work for shits and giggles

booth style?

like has links for you tube blogger facebook wikipedia along the toolbar, just remindsme a bit of a internet cafe setup

Cute for a UMPC probably. lighting fast I would suspect.
Mike, what about drivers?

uses generics, works fine on our desktops but has issues with the Sony laptops works fine on Dells...great for using as a bootable pron OS ;) i give it 5 Arrospoks!
