You may have last seen gOS, the free, Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, touted here as a way to revive an old PC with a webapp focus. Now there’s three flavors of gOS available, including a ‘Space’ release that was designed with a Mac-like slickness to its interface, and a lot of MySpace functionality thrown in, on top of all the other Google, Facebook, and other link-ups. ‘Space’ ups the hardware demands from the standard gOS (to about the modern Ubuntu requirements); if you’re running older stock or just like the original interface, it’s still offered as ‘gOS Rocket E,’ or the GNOME-based ‘gOS Rocket G’ for Ubuntu fans. Live CDs/DVDs are offered for each flavor, so it’s free to take a look. Photo by thinbegin.
