    Artnoon all.. A little thread to list all new linux releases which may be of interest to the wider community.

    Now we have all heard of Everex and their ties with gOS (good OS). And I'm sure we all know about the gPC situation where a number of retailers dropped the product at the end of stock, not because it wasn't selling but because they couldn't ship enough to supply demand (and probably some interference from M$ and friends). Everything is still available direct from source.

    Well hot on the heels of the notebook linux variant Rocket beta1 they have another winner.

    gOS SPACE 2.9

    So it sounds good?

    Released on a limited edition mini-pc from everex at a staggering price of $499 this little creature must be in the running for anybody wanting a super fast small and neat new machine.

    You would think for that kind of cash in this day and age you would be getting next to nothing from this little box, but you would be wrong.

    I have downloaded the OS from the site and I'm looking forward to testing it later tonight. I liked the last release so if this one lives up to it's promise it should be even better.
    My only problem is it is 800mb.. so I have to find and fit a dvd drive into Grace for the test. Not a problem.. that's what she is for.

    If it works as well as I think it will I have just found the OS to replace the custom homebuilt debian variant I install on my refurbs XD
