gOS stands for "Good OS" not Google! its confusing because of all the google apps that come with it though... I think google should make an OS like this and not just a cloud OS because you can add cloud support to just about any computer without making it a cloud only system.
gOS is an opportunisitic attempt to cash in on the "google OS" hype. It is only a repackaging of Ubuntu distro on the Enlightenment window manager. Summed up, IT IS A THEME, A SKIN, A CONFIGURATION OF DEBIAN PACKAGES WITH CUSTOM ART, disguising as a OS.. It would have been better to call it Geez, that gOS.
I completely agree, it is nothing like the Google Chrome OS. I run the build version (developer) for Google Chrome OS, this thing isn't great at all compared to the real deal.
@rofthorax first of al gOS has been around far longer that than google's os. And it isn't a skin you idiot! it is a complete os based on ubuntu! Ubuntu is based on debian, fedora is based on redhat. so if those two distros are based upon other systems are they just skins?
Ummm look at the date when I put my posting. And look at when the Google Chrome OS was released, also read up stories that even mentioned Chrome OS. Also read up stories about when Google was using Ubuntu internally. Yes they did have a internally used version of Ubuntu that was not available to the public because it had been leaked that they were. As for gOS, it's popularity was high when there was a rumor of the "google OS" some years ago, and that is what I was responding to.
EEE FTW!!
