I'm glad to hear it will be upgradeable again. I replaced Kanotix w gOS space on my laptop, and though I've had to reinstall it a few times, have found it to be pretty good. It's limited compared to what I'm used to, but everything but the webcam worked w/o configuration. I otherwise use Sidux & generally prefer pure Debian to *buntu & KDE to gnome. I expect to see some interesting & original stuff from the gOS team, based on the talk about the user experience i've heard from Mr Liu. I intend to follow gOS & look forward to using it more. I just hope they don't wind up releasing ubuntu w/ differnt existing DEs & nothing more.
SymphonyOS is the only Linux OS that I know of w/ a truly unique UI. It is a wholly unique and revolutionary creation, not a set of tweaks or rehash of what already exists. It does not utilize any existing DE. It doesn't look like WIndows or Mac OS, or anything else. There are no nested menus - everything appears on the desktop & there are no desktop icons. As far as I know, it is fully supported by its community & developers, and has a current release. It has Ubuntu as its base & can run KDE, gnome apps, etc... It would've done very well as a netbook OS if things had timed out right. Unfortunately, its creator hit some hard times & his sites seem to be perpetually under attack for some reason. Much of the innovative aspects, aside from the UI, were abandoned, such as OneCLick package management. It's one of those sad stories of what could've / should've been. Though it has Ubuntu as its base, Mezzo can & has been run on many other OSes. The creator of the Mezzo desktop, Orchestra & the SymphonyOS, Ryan Quinn (sp?), has a very interesting white paper on UI design, as well. It's well worth the google search & the read. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
