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."

RE[5]: many gOS screenies
Member since:2006-02-15
Wtf are you even talking about? :O
First of all: False , it's default ... It's not setup like Apple own version all the time do.
Which distros do ship with a dock by default? Dock is not the same thing as the panel on top or bottom of the screen..gOS sure does ship with a dock, but is it the default in Fedora? SuSE? Ubuntu? PCLOS? Heck, is it by default on ANY of the big Linux distros? Nope.
Second: "The dock defines OSX whereas that doesn't fit with Linux. "
The Dock don't define anything ... Yes it fit in GNU/Linux otherwise it would not be included or working ...
I wasn't talking about docks working or not under Linux, I said OSX is defined by it's dock and Linux isn't.
"It has nothing to do with who invented it."
It is a deformation of reality tru false publicity , myth and urban legend.
The original poster never claimed Apple has invented the idea of a dock. As such, he/she was never lying or spreading any sort of false publicity.
"a flag with stripes and lots of stars"
You just described most recent country flags ...
"What does that remind you of?"
Nothing in particular ... It's missing colors for defining ...
"Recent" means something that has happened/been not long ago. It doesn't mean a quantity.. And heck, I didn't mention any colors or further details exactly because I was trying to make a point that when someone knows only part of the details he/she will of course talk about those and not give a specific description of the subject at hand..You completely misunderstood the whole point behind my whole post >_<
"Most likely the flag of the United States. "
If you got limited education on flags , and live in the US , probably ... otherwise without colors depending on the location of the individual asked you will get a lot of answers ...
I happen to live in Finland and when I think about a flag with lots of stars and stripes the US flag is the first one to come to my mind.
"Because that's ... long before."
No that's because in the US there are normally no other options , due to lack of education ... Otherwise change the country and the origin of the people asked and you got a broader range of answers.
Again..I said that's THE MOST WELL-KNOWN ONE! Atleast around here! And I never said it's the only flag matching that description... Please try to read other people's posts BEFORE you post... -.-
I never bought into the idea that because idiot say it in such a way your suppose to say it is such
Oh, and you should watch your language.. Calling someone an idiot is against this site's rules, especially when you don't even know the other person.

I don't get why people say such a thing , GNU/Linux as had launcher bar for application on it's desktop long before Mac OS X came out in 2001 and they had them before Next too ...
You do understand that people say such a thing because the Mac dock is on EVERY Mac OSX installation by default whereas under Linux it sure is possible to add one...but is it default? Nope. The dock defines OSX whereas that doesn't fit with Linux. That's the reason people say such things. It has nothing to do with who invented it. Just think about the sentence "a flag with stripes and lots of stars"...What does that remind you of? Most likely the flag of the United States. Why? Because that's the most well-known example of such a flag even though there probably has been hundreds of flags that fit that definition long before.
