gOS - A Computer That Works With Google, Not Microsoft
[Copy link]
|

|
Based in Los Angeles.
An alternative operating system for the masses
Our idea is to be a simple, user friendly, beautiful desktop for normal people.
Out of the box, just works!
We're creating an OS ecosystem that is complete. We come with all the software you need to browse the web, email, instant message... play movies, music, and connect to iPods... create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, images... out of the box. Plug and play!
Bring on Google and other wonderful applications
We recommend Google for just about everything... Gmail, Gtalk, Calendar, Maps, Docs and Spreadsheets, and more. We'd like to welcome you to the idea that Google already is your "operating system."
Open source and other values
We thank the Ubuntu 7.10 community and Enlightenment community for their contribution to gOS and the world. Our dedicated team and passionate community of volunteers are commited to bringing our alternative OS to the masses... so people everywhere can enjoy a third, more affordable and attractive choice when shopping for a computer. To get ahead of ourselves, we're saying goodbye to closed software and the digital divide.
----------------------------
Advocates of Linux, the free open-source operating system, like to say that buying a standard-issue computer involves a Microsoft Tax, because you have no choice but to pay for Windows. New versions of Linux and inexpensive hardware like the new Everex gPC TC2502 make that tax avoidable.

Enlarge This Image
This computer has a 1.5-gigahertz Via processor, 512 megabytes of memory and an 80-gigabyte hard drive. What makes it stand out, however, is GOS, a version of Linux specially made to run Google applications like GMail and Google Documents. It also runs OpenOffice, an open-source office suite that can handle Microsoft Word documents, and some multimedia applications.
The interface features an intuitive desktop interface with a set of icons. Clicking on the Map icon, for example, brings up Google Maps. The ostensible goal is to move much of the processing from the PC to the Internet.
The gPC is available now at Wal-Mart for $200, including a keyboard and mouse. A monitor costs extra, and the Microsoft Tax is missing entirely. JOHN BIGGS

Can Google and Wal-Mart break the Microsoft desktop monopoly?

Despite the great hype, both here and elsewhere, over Everex |

What? You've never heard of gOS? Well, neither has DistroWatch until last week, but that didn't prevent it from being supplied as an operating system on a low-cost computer, available at a major retailer in the United States! Quite an achievement, given that many well-established Linux distributions struggle to gain presence on the shelves of computer stores. Aside from the surprise appearance, gOS is an Ubuntu-based distribution using a heavily modified Enlightenment window manager. In the media, it was often presented as a "Google OS", but the project's web site states that gOS is not affiliated with Google in any way. Even so, the distro developers are clearly enamoured with Google applications and services, which form an integral part of the gOS experience. The computer and the OS are meant to attract less technical computer users, but its low-end specifications suggest that it might be too sluggish to be really enjoyable. Still, it's hard to beat the price! |

Pakat tukar and cari and try os baru khususnya linux...
Tahniah!...
Katakan tidak pada windows dan mac os.
diharap akan dapat pula menjadi pakar dalam penyesuaian keserasian software-software yg ada untuk windows agar serasi linux.. sebab aku tak dapat nak main linus.. kerana software aku tak jalan... kalau setakat nak main audio, nak buat text dan sewaktu dgnnya (office) memang linux pun boleh, tapi yang khusus macam nak edit audio, nyah bising, mixing, compress, dan penggunaan DX, DXi, CST, VSTi, ReWire, dan byk lg plug-in yg ada, masih buntu... (teringat UBuntu )..
Semuga tidak lama lagi selesailah masalah ini... |
