Thanks, Joby. I can understand the problems gOS is facing and I do hope they're able to work things out.
I tried version 3.0 and the Google Gadgets on the desktop look pretty snazzy, however, there were a few problems with the boot screen resolution and with the wireless card not being detected; also, we still had this problem with fuzzy frizzling of windows whenever they're opened or closed. (The Everex Stepnote apparently does not have a graphics card for video acceleration; therefore, the Avant Window Navigator dock could not be used.) I decided to try straight Ubuntu 8.04 and noticed that it recognized the built-in Atheros wireless card right away and the fuzzy frizzlin windows were gone. (Did that fuzzy stuff have something to do with forcing graphics acceleration to be done by the main processor?) Graphics acceleration could not be activated, but I think we can live without the cool AWN dock. I worked out the screen resolution with the help of the technical support at Everex (It's 1440x900) and I now have a system which is better for several reasons, not least of which is that I'll be able to do updates and upgrades without having to reinstall from an optical drive. So, goodbye and good luck to gOS. At least, for now. On Oct 25, 12:39 pm, Joby Kent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When does your warranty run out?
