gOS 是一款另类的操作系统，开发理念是要为公众创造一个简单、易于使用且美丽的桌面环境。沃尔玛百货出售的 gPC 的中预装系统便是 gOS。

gOS 采用的是修改版的 Ubuntu Linux 7.10 操作系统，由于 Ubuntu 良好的兼容特性，所以 gOS 可以良好地支持各种 Web 2.0 程序。

gOS 预装了包括 Google 公司的电子邮件 gMail 及一系列在线办公软件等等。产品预置类似 Mac OS X 的停靠栏，内置多种 Web 应用，有 Google Docs，Google Maps， YouTube，Meebo，Facebook，Wikipedia 等。

gOS Live 可以直接在光碟上运行，也可以将其安装到计算机上。

About gOS

Based in Los Angeles.

An alternative operating system for the masses

Our idea is to be a simple, user friendly, beautiful desktop for normal people.

Out of the box, just works!

We're creating an OS ecosystem that is complete. We come with all the software you need to browse the web, email, instant message... play movies, music, and connect to iPods... create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, images... out of the box. Plug and play!

Bring on Google and other wonderful applications

We recommend Google for just about everything... Gmail, Gtalk, Calendar, Maps, Docs and Spreadsheets, and more. We'd like to welcome you to the idea that Google already is your "operating system."

Open source and other values

We thank the Ubuntu 7.10 community and Enlightenment community for their contribution to gOS and the world. Our dedicated team and passionate community of volunteers are commited to bringing our alternative OS to the masses... so people everywhere can enjoy a third, more affordable and attractive choice when shopping for a computer. To get ahead of ourselves, we're saying goodbye to closed software and the digital divide.
