New Version of Green OS Released

Release 2.0 of gOS, the Green Operating System some people call a Google OS, has been released as a free download. The new version is available as a bit torrent download, and adds:

  • Google Gears for offline access of some Google (and non-Google) web applications
  • Virtual desktops
  • An improved Mac-like dock bar (tauntingly called the iBar)
  • A Google search box smack in the middle of the desktop
  • A browser based webcam application with special effects (gBooth)
  • Integrated online storage through Box.net
  • Adobe Flash 9 for Linux pre-installed
  • Better wifi management with “Exalt”

gOS 2.0 Rocket requires a 400 MHz processor 128 MB of RAM, and, shockingly, 3 gigabytes of hard drive space. Comments
