gOS - Tiny Computers Take Over Market

Welcome to Edutechie.com! If you're new here, be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have been a fan of the gOs for a while, but the most recent announcement of this super small laptop for $399 is just awesome (coming January 20th in Walmart). I have always wanted a smaller Sony Vaio notebook, but the price tag (usually at lest $1500) was more than I could swallow. This looks very promising. I think it is time to rebuild my Linux test box and put gOS on it to see how I like it.

Check out these awesome specs for this little device:

$399
2 lbs
7″ screen
WiFi
3 USB ports
4-in-1 card reader.

I want, I want, I want…

We picked up the desktop version of this to play around with at the office. I think most of us have given it fairly high reviews.

At any rate, there are several posts about it on a collaborative blog that a group of us in computing maintain. Feel free to check it out at http://computing.allegheny.edu/blogs/technocool.

not too bad looking. i wonder how it compares to the asus eee pc.

i ran gOS for a little bit on my extra partition, but it seemed like a pretty rough and unfinished distro, although the concept is still pretty good.

personally, i would dump gOS the first chance i got, and put debian or arch on it.
