Hands-On With Everex's $200 gPC
,----[ Quote
| Everex's stock in trade is delivering decent technology at rock-bottom
| prices. Its $200 gPC, available immediately, offers a no-gimmicks machine for
| a song. To get there, it broke away from standard low-end practice and opted
| for Linux.

openSUSE 11 Alpha 0 review
,----[ Quote
| This is a development version, so we should suppose that all the bugs I
| encountered here are going to be removed in the final version. The system
| itself, and most of the applications that are working are already quite
| stable. Considering this, openSUSE 11 is going to be a pretty good
| distribution. It has a big user base, recent versions for packages, some
| support from Novell, all the components are good integrated, there are nice
| GUIs for the most common settings, it is supposed to have good
| interoperability with Microsoft software.

| I found the gPC and its gOS operating system easy to use.
|
| For example, just clicking anywhere on the open desktop brings up an
| equivalent to the Windows Start menu, and right-clicking gets you a menu of
| popular programs. I also like the Package Manager, a part of Ubuntu, which
| finds and easily installs dozens of free and open-source programs.

| Now gOS the OS powering the gPC is a unique OS. While I said it is a

| highlights and encourages users to use web applications instead of the
| traditional software for their day to day computing tasks.

Gosh, gOS is good
,----[ Quote ]
| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and
| great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should
| work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an
| impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend
| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.
