Phoronix: gOS 2.0 "Rocket" To Blast Off Next Week

We've just been notified that gOS 2.0 will be released next week at the 2008 Consumer Electronic Show. This Linux distribution started making news two months ago as the conceptual Google Operating System and shipping on a sub-$200 (USD) Everex PC. This distribution is very easy to use and features integration with popular Web 2.0 services such as YouTube, Google Calendar, and Google Maps. This next gOS release, codenamed "Rocket", adds a few features and more Google love. Accompanying this release will also be a gOS Software Developer Kit.

In February, Everex will be launching their low-cost CloudBook, gPC, gPC mini, and gBook with gOS 2.0.

If a gPC mini is what I think it might be (sub $250 PC, size of a beer stein?) it might be a great little computer. Looking forward to details.
