This Kogan netbook was my first hands-on with gOS as well, so in the video we explore the OS a little. Very friendly interface, with good support for desktop widgets and an excellent software search tool for auto-installing packages from the web based on keywords, categories, and popularity rankings. Will do auto software updates, too. Seems pretty friendly overall for even first time Linux users.

Discussions of Linux distributions rarely mention gOS. Will people familiar with this operating system offer an evaluation of it in the context of netbook computers?

I've just run a VIDEO hands-on with the Kogan Agora Netbook at my (Aussie geek) video podcast, Midnight Update. http://www.midnightupdate.com/ I've included a boot test side-by-side with gOS and Windows 7 (and Win7 is looking very speedy for netbooks). The hardware is standard, but gOS feels nice and at the price it's hard to beat.
