GOS Gadgets Operating System Preview- Video Tip

Submitted by Rick on August 12, 2008 - 11:16pm.
  • Ubuntu Tips

GOS stands for Good Operating System and was the operating system of choice for WalMart's $199 Everex computer last year that they couldn't keep in stock. GOS is a customized version of Ubuntu Linux and like most Linux operating systems is free to use and works on almost any laptop or desktop built since 2000 or so.

In this week's video, I give you a quick overview of some of the features of GOS 3 Gadgets. You will notice an Apple like application dock complete with animations, the newest version of OpenOffice.org's word processor, spreadsheet and presentation manager, tight integration with Google services like Gmail, Google Docs, and desktop gadgets (thus the new name).

For me, the best part of learning more about Linux is that it truly is simpler to use than Windows and is much more secure without the need of becoming a computer security expert. Take a look at the video below to see what a truly revolutionary operating system can look like...for free!

What do you mean when you say its free to use? Does this mean you don`t have to pay a monthly fee for an internet connection? Thanx sooo much for doing what you do, I REALLY appreciate you, Sage

Yes, it is free

As in Zero dollars...no monthly costs. A full fledged operating system that works on older hardware and at faster speeds and safer than Windows for NO COST. The only investment you make is a a little time learning a new operating system, but after that, you have a solid, trouble-free computer.
