gOS, The OS X-looking Linux

Posted Jun 24, 2008 by Rich Menga  

image The last time I looked at gOS I was not impressed. It looked like it had a long way to go. The operation seemed oversimplified and too watered down.

Even though I haven’t tried out the latest version of gOS, I might. Do you see the screen shot here? Does it remind you of an OS made by Apple? If not, it should, leaning app list and all.

Am I saying gOS is any good as OS X? Not at all. gOS won’t hold a candle to OS X, however, if it’s the look you’re after and gOS has it out-of-the-box, well… maybe it’s worth a look-see.

To our resident *nix-heads in the audience, has anyone used the latest version of gOS? It is worth trying out? We’d like to know.

To note, there appear to be three types of gOS. “Space”, “Rocket G” (has Gnome) and “Rocket E” (has Enlightenment). Which one is the best gOS? I have no idea, but it’s probably safe to say “Space” would be a good start assumedly.

I will be downloading this to test out in Live mode to see how it fares out.
