New gOS Linux OS Surrounded by Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| In this context, the gOS name seems a bit misleading, as the new OS launches
| Google Gadgets for Linux immediately upon startup. Users are given access to
| about 100,000 Google Gadgets -- but the widgets, small helper applications
| that can perform a number of small tasks, are from Google, and not gOS.
|
| [...]
|
| The gOS 3 Gadgets release will also preload WINE, LXDE, and other Google
| software for Linux. gOS 3 Gadgets includes LXDE (Lightweight X Desktop
| Environment) applications in the renewed effort to develop a more
| lightweight desktop, the company said.

| A fast, fast-booting, implementation of GNOME aimed at netbooks and older
| hardware has emerged, and shows "a lot of promise." LXDE has already stacked
| up a heap of distribution partners.

| For those of you who have older machinery or just wish to extract every ounce
| of speed from your machine there is a new offering that has just hit the
| Debian Lenny repositories. It is called LXDE. You can find more information
| about it from their web site here.
