A conversation with gOS founder David Liu (video)
,----[ Quote ]
| Why did David and his group decide the world needed yet another GNU/Linux
| distribution? And how are they making money? This second question is
| important because David says, yes, gOS (pronounced gee-oh-ess) is
| profitable -- and not from selling service and support contracts, either. For
| the full scoop, watch the video.

gOS 3 Beta, Netbooks, and Linux: An Interview with David Liu, Founder of Good
OS
,----[ Quote ]
| With the recent release of gOS 3 Beta, we thought it was prime time to take a
| closer look at the company responsible for creating the OS that powered the
| ill-fated Everex Cloudbook, and the gorgeous (and Mac OS X Leopard-inspired)
| gOS Space. We chewed the fat with David Liu, gOS founder and CEO, about the
| operating systems’ new features, potential competition from Ubuntu Netbook
| Remix, the push for consumer adoption, and the future of Linux on the
| desktop.

[A Look at gOS]
,----[ Quote ]
| In early November of 2007, the gOS Linux Operating System was presented along
| with the Everex gPC available at Wal-Mart and on-line. The gPC desktop system
| was priced at 9 and its early succes must be attributed to the gOS 1.0
| Operating system based on Ubuntu 7.10 + enlightenment. The original gOS 1.0
| OS offered many enhancements over it's Ubuntu base, the most noticeable being
| links to interact with Web 2.0 applications by Google and other vendors.
| These applications included Facebook, Blogger, Google searches, Wikipedia,
| Youtube and more.

Impressions: gOS 3 Gadgets BETA
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall gOS is great. It does try a little too much to be like a mac, with
| the dock on the bottom, the one bar on top, and moving the window buttons
| from the top right to the top left. None of these things are standard in
| Ubuntu, but they aren’t enough to keep me from thinking that the new gOS is a
| keeper.

gOS Space: OSX-like operating system without the Apple
,----[ Quote ]
| I have to admit I went into this thinking it was going to take a lot to win
| me over. I am a devout Enlightenment fan and it would take absolute
| brilliance to pull me, kicking and screaming, from E17. gOS Space nearly does
| this. Nearly. While gOS is amazingly stable (for such an effects-centric
| operating system), it will not be able to update to the latest version of
| Ubuntu. Space is based on 7.10 and has the distribution upgrade disabled.
| Instead, the next revision of Space will be based on 8.04.

Review : gOS 2.0 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion : gOS is an extremely usable and user friendly Linux distribution.
| It actually brings much needed breath of fresh air to stagnant desktop Linux
| market (Dominated by Ubuntu and other distribution which are pretty similar
| with nothing radically different) . The future of operating system is
| certainly taking things online making operating system more of an interface
| to the applications available online and gOS takes a small step forward in
| this direction by integrating all kind of online applications into the gOS
| desktop and making the interface extremely user friendly.Also selling
| computers preloaded with gOS in Wallmart is another step in right direction .
| Overall gOS is highly impressive Desktop Linux distribution and one
| distribution to look forward to making in future.

My review of gOS Space
,----[ Quote ]
| If you're a casual computer user who doesn't want to use Vista, this may be a
| great OS for you. If you like the Mac desktop, but aren't willing to shell
| out the exorbitant price for one, this also may be ideal for you. It's a
| great choice as a first Linux distro, and if you want to use Linux but the
| rest of your family don't, this may well be the distro to make them change
| their minds.

Review: gOS 2.0 Beta
,----[ Quote ]
| THE idea of low-cost computers running Linux operating systems is steadily
| gathering ground in the market place. In the UK, Dell report steady interest
| in their range of Ubuntu-driven machines, and the diminutive Asus Eee,
| running a customised Xandros desktop, has been a global sensation. Then
| there's America, where Everex's range of PCs featuring the upstart Linux
| distribution known as gOS have been selling out faster than they can make
| them. But can cheap and cheerful also mean innovative and interesting?

gOS Linux - a very good OS - Overview & short tutorial

| gOS is an Ubuntu-based distribution aimed at the modern, young Internet

| Enlightenment 17 windows manager, OSX style, and integration of Google Apps

gOS review
,----[ Quote ]
| Simply put, gOS is just an eubuntu live cd with a google flavoured theme or
| skin applied. But that is only the physical gOS. Much more important is what
| it represents: With Vista being pushed hard at the moment, more and more
| Microsoft customers are becoming fed up with Windows and looking for an
| alternative. Linux is ready to take over the desktop market now, and a
| distribution like gOS, properly advertised and supported may soon take it
| there. This is one to watch.

gOS Reloaded 2.0 Beta -- Is Good OS really good enough to blast off?
,----[ Quote ]
| I am honestly pleased to give this package a 5 Pennie review. I was a bit
| dissapointed with version 1 of gOS, as it was good, but really odd. The
| removal of the start icon and focus on the power of enlightenment in this
| version is really where computing needs to go. Yes, it is a complete rip off
| of Apple OS, but hell, when something works, why not when you can take the
| human input characteristics and apply them for the work of good instead only
| evil?
|
| It is nice that this OS is not only available on a stripped down desktop I
| would have to buy at Wal-Mart, in that now many people can run off and
| download this gem to enjoy. I hope you enjoyed this quick review of the
| package, and while I do hope to hear back on my request for a review, I plan
| to add to the bonus areas with updates as I keep playing with the distro, as
| this is now the main package on my home machine, which means it actually
| passed the wife test. As always happy hunting for your favorite Linux, and I
| hope this helps in your quest.

| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and
