Finding The Right Linux For You
by Rom Feria on December 31, 2007
If you have not heard of the news about Google using Linux, where have you been? ha-ha-ha. Anyway, it was rumoured that Google will be releasing its own Ubuntu-based Linux distribution and when gOS was previewed, everyone thought that was it. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), it is in no way associated with Google. So what is this gOS and what makes it different?
To find out more about gOS, check out ExtremeTech's review. Whilst it looks promising, it still lacks a few essential applications necessary for a home user, e.g., DVD player.
My take on this is - unless you have an extremely fast internet connection, forget about using the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) setup of gOS. You will simply get frustrated. Now, if only gOS will take advantage of Google Gears, then maybe it will be easier for users to digest.
