lol why are people having a go at this OS, its meant for netbooks or slow machines.. I have it running for my baby sisters and it works really well, I didnt even have to install it, running it from CD, everything works out of box including sound and internet.. and unlike ubuntu, flash is pre installed.. :]

I would reccomend backing up your documents onto an external drive/dvd before doing any sort of operating system changing.

itunes and microsoft office are both windows applications, so wont work in linux unless you run them through a windows emulator like Wine.

There are linux alternatives to both those programs though. Amarok is a great music player. OpenOffice can replace word, excel, access, powerpoint etc and can use all the microsoft office file formats too.

Hope this helped.

its based on ubuntu.

lol i suggest you only know ubuntu from the many linux distros...

ubuntu is just a distro, like gos, so it's linux, but not ubuntu

[pjwero]

that is not g-os that is ubuntu!

I cannot get gOS space to install. Every how-to I find on google says there's little boxes that pop up and help you during the whole process. I'm not seeing it.

I can get as far as a black screen with 4 sentences that have [ok] at the end of them and thats it.
