gOS


gOS is a Linux distribution created by gOS LLC. The company advertises it as “An alternative OS with Google Apps and other Web 2.0 apps for the masses and simple, user friendly, beautiful desktop for normal people.”

It is based on the Ubuntu 7.10 distribution. It uses the Enlightenment 17 window manager instead of the usual GNOME or KDE desktops, allowing for lower memory and speed requirements.

Its primary feature is its usage of a Mac-like Dock featuring icons linking to various web applications such as Google Docs, Wikipedia, and Gmail, as well as local applications such as GIMP and Skype. Also 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.
