Desktoplinux.com has an article this morning on the new revision of gOS which is due in another week or so., including a new web cam built specifically for gOS.
That was fast. Only two months ago, Good OS, a startup Linux distributor, exploded on the scene with gOS 1.0, an Ubuntu-based desktop Linux with dedicated links to Google applications. Now, the company has announced that it will release the next version, gOS 2.0, Rocket, at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas on Jan. 7.
Good OS‘ gOS 1.0 surprised everyone by blasting off into being an extremely popular Linux distribution with no forewarning. Introduced with the $199 Wal-Mart PC, the Everex Green gPC TC2502 gOS became just as much of a story as Everex’s ultra-affordable desktop PC.

Interesting. From my non-geek’s perspective, the hardware, OS, Google applications, and box.net storage appear competitive with Zonbu, except that I don’t see the same promise of worry-free updates and maintenance and security. But I don’t know enough to judge. Is this a case of apple vs. oranges?
PS: for those of us interested in ease and security primarily, I wonder if this new product might be an alternative: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5094510735.html
