gOS 3 beta launches
gOS releases beta of their latest version, gOS 3. This new one comes with full instant access to the large suite of Google and iGoogle gadgets, offline access to online services such as Google Docs and Mail, and also comes with WINE pre-installed. gOS is based on the latest Ubuntu release, 8.04.1, which makes a lot of Linux users familiar with the environment.
So, if you tried gOS before, you can try this beta version by downloading it right away. The question now is – what happens when Google Mail is down, just like what happened last week?
