Those of you who don’t like Windows and aren’t too fond of Macs either, but aren’t really all that crazy about the complexity of Linux, might be in for a treat: a new version of gOS is available for download.
gOS is the unofficial Google OS; a Linux-based, simple operating system that works with Google applications out of the box. It was popularized by being sold in Wal-Mart with a low-end PC for just 199 dollars, and although it’s definitely not the Google Operating System that many have been waiting for since some journalist decided that it was a good idea, it’s a nice, user-friendly Linux version that even your grandma might like.
The new version, gOS Rocket 2.0.0, brings several important tweaks and improvements; namely support for Google Gears, virtual desktops, online storage drive (via online storage service Box.net), Adobe Flash 9 for Linux, and an updated Wi-Fi manager. It’s not really clear if this is a beta version or not (the actual file has “beta” in the name, but the torrent doesn’t), but since everything is always in beta lately, who cares anyway.
