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.
