Linux Linux.com takes a look at gOS. They conclude: "I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and great looks. It works well and is fast and stable on my laptop. It should work on any computer that any other Linux supports. Enlightenment is an impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it."

Aww, come on, people love eye candy and you know it. People want to see what makes it different.

I checked out the screenshots and I saw Enlightenment running with a green theme with a Debian base of applications. In the corner there is a Google search widget. Your typical Mac clone dock launcher (iBar) for applications. The Google application icons open the browser and load the correct URL, simply revolutionary.

well damn, makes me want to install Enlightenment on my box here and have a play around ;)

this is a web terminal in a can in many ways, but imo thats perfect for many people. that and a game console and they should be covered.

and if they want to do video, audio or photo editing in a semi-pro way, they could just as well get a mac...
