A short look at gOS

,----[ Quote ]
| So after downloading the gOS Live ISO onto my Debian Etch system I started 
| Innotek’s VirtualBox, bound the freshly downloaded ISO as a CD-ROM, made a 
| 4GB virtual hard disk image for installing it, gave that virtual computer 
| 256MB of RAM, and started...

First look at Edubuntu 7.10

,----[ Quote ]
| Edubuntu 7.10 is a linux distribution based on Ubuntu aimed at schools and 
| teachers. As a new teacher I thought that I would take a look at what 
| Edubuntu has to offer, and whether I think that I would use it in a school 
| environment. I ordered a free cd from ShipIt, and as always this took a 
| couple of weeks to arrive.

Edubuntu: Linux for education

,----[ Quote ]
| In Venezuela, for instance, "there are several movements that were
| originated by a new law, Presidential Decree No. 3390, where all
| public institutions must use open source software," says Efrain
| Valles, a Venezuelan educator, Ubuntu user, and open source
| advocate. However, Valles says that uptake in the education
| sector is slow. "Our schools are just beginning to use
| computers. There is no one computer per classroom thing;
| remember, we are a Third World country. Technology is an
| import and very expensive, so the reach to schools is
| happening mainly because of stuff like Edubuntu."

Tip of the Trade: Edubuntu

| You can literally have an entire network up and and running in

Controlling and managing Edubuntu users' desktops

,----[ Quote ]
| The community-driven Edubuntu project aims to create a version of Ubuntu 
| specially tailored for use in primary and secondary education. Perhaps the 
| most useful feature present in the Edubuntu OS is the Linux Terminal Server 
| Project environment, whose applications are not limited just to eduction.

Gosh, gOS is good

,----[ Quote ]
| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and 
| great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should 
| work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an 
| impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend 
| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

gOS-live 1.0 386

| Based on Ubuntu 7.10 Linux system with an Enlightenment E17 interface, the 
| PC's productivity will be almost solely derived from Google applications 
| accessed through Firefox: Mail, Calendar, News, Maps and Documents & 
| Spreadsheets. It also comes with OpenOffice.org 2.2 and some other freeware 
| Linux favorates.
