It is based on Hardy Heron of course but that's semantics as Ubuntu is a Debian derivative in any case. That's what Linux is about Open Source - so anyone can take it and modify to suit.
I found that it all worked well and once I found out how to set myself up as admin and manage the dock it has everything I need in a basic desktop conveniently arranged. Synaptic is still there for use anyway. I couldn't get Compiz or the facebook gadget to work admittedly but that's just eye candy anyhow. All in all I'm satisfied so far. Simplicity and functionality are there even if the gadgets are mostly superfluos, that would be the same for any OS. -- Regards Rick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
