gOS






gOS is a series of linux distributions.This is an alternative OS with google apps and other web 2.0 apps for modern user.This first version of gOS was based on Ubuntu 7.10 and Enlightment Window Manager.

Good OS released a beta of the second version of gOS on January 1 2008, called gOS-live-2.0.0-beta1 and nicknamed "Rocket". However this version did not seem to be a valid replacement for rev 1.0.1 as it was missing some essential functions, such as hardware and system administration tools, and the easy to use application installer "Add/Remove".It also missed the capability to access CDs and hard-disk partitions other than its own.

On April 7, 2008 Good OS (gOS) and Everex introduced the limited edition MyMiniPC running gOS Space 2.9, a special version of gOS Linux made for MySpace users, featuring brand new MySpace Apps just weeks after the MySpace API launch. The MyMiniPC targeted MySpace users with its glossy white case, 3D desktop, and a media center dock stacked with MySpace and Web 2.0 folders for News, Photos, Videos, Music, TV and Movies, and more. All in a system one and half inches tall and weighing two pounds.
