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?

Zenwalk 5.0 - Something More, Something New.
,----[ Quote ]
| This is another great release from the Zenwalk Linux team. The developers
| have obviously listened to the requests or even demands from its users or
| fence-sitters. Zenwalk Linux 5.0 is much more WiFi-friendly now, at least
| with Intel Pro Wireless and Intel Wireless WiFi Link chipsets. I am also very
| delighted to have found so many bleeding edge packages in the Zenwalk Linux
| official repositories, whether it's in the current or snapshot directories.

They recently banned Radu from the forums for complaining that he could not
find access to the source code. This led to some anger.

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.

Modest new PC costs just $199

| 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.

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

| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

Zenwalk 5.0: Slackware Made Somewhat Easier
,----[ Quote ]
| I tried Zenwalk back at v3.0 and liked it. It was a fast, sleek, minimalist
| OS based on Slackware, but supposedly only aimed at more technically advanced
| users. With the release of v5.0, I decided to try it again and see how far
| it's come in the past year or so.
| For those who aren't familiar with Zenwalk, here's a brief update: Zenwalk is
| a one-CD installation of Slackware which has a philosophy of only including
| one program for each task. It was originally called MiniSlack in the pre-1.0
| days when it shipped with WindowMaker as the desktop. Now, it's based on
| XFCE, supposedly has much better hardware detection, and is a more complete
| desktop overall. It's still based loosely on Slackware, using Slackware's
| packaging system and using LILO instead of GRUB as the boot loader, but it's
| a more complete OS out of the box, despite being smaller.

Zenwalk 5: A Distribution Worth Trying

| After using Zenwalk 5.0 Beta quite a bit since its release, we haven't hit

| we feel that Zenwalk 5.0 is a great lightweight Linux desktop worth trying

First Look at Zenwalk Linux 5.0-Beta

| Zenwalk is a Slackware-based Linux distribution designed to be slim, fast,
| complete and beautiful. It provides the latest stable versions for the
| included software and it’s optimized for high performance. It’s not bloated
| like most other distributions as it only provides one application for each
| task, but at the same time, it’s ready for common daily tasks out-of-the-box.

Review: Zenwalk 4.8 - Does Easier Mean Easy?

| Hey folks sorry for the delay, I seem to say that at the start of every
| article but the festive season has caused havoc lately. Anyway, I've been
| running Zenwalk 4.8 almost a week now and it did give some me more time to

| even been told it was good for new users. Could this be true? Here's how I
