Screenshot Tour: gOS 1.0 (Initial G)

Linux

Below you’ll find a series of screenshots from the recently released gOS – a linux based operating system that’s found on low-priced PC’s at a retailer I’d rather not mention. If you like what you see you can download a copy for yourself and take it for a spin.

gOS is heavily based on Ubuntu 7.10 and Enlightenment, and it integrates every Google service you can imagine. You can find out more details on gOS here.

    The downloaded files have 726MB how can I burn this on CD??? I need to erase some folder?

  2. Ciryon says

    I would be very interested to see a screenshot of one of the web apps running. Have they removed location bar, bookmarks bar etc when “opening” a web app?

  3. Evan says

    Doufer:
    ISO files can sometimes run far over the actual size of the data on a cd. Just burn it with nero, alcohol or cdburnerXP and you should be fine.

  4. Daeng Bo says

    The ISO I have states that it is released under a Creative Commons (nc-by) license. I wonder how it is possible to do that with GPLed software.

  5. Sulfura says

    Because that’s the License of the entire Project. The kernel and free software remain GPL

  6. Heiner says

    No you can’t some distros like Ubuntu needs all folder inside the ISO you must burn it on a DVD in order to use it

  7. jas says

    Dude, this is just ubuntu with google apps.
