[...] While cloud operating systems seems like an idea of the future, google was not the first to bring into reality. Eyeos was the first operating system and they have been working on the cloud for well over three years. The operating system is very simple to install [requires only php5 and apache] and you can use all basic applications like notepad, office docs, games, explorer and a few others. Eyeos is open source software and is free to use. Other notable projects include icloud and GOS. [...]

I’m a big fan of the Opera browser, at least you download it. The Google Chrome browser has to be installed directly from Google. Why can’t it be downloaded? I’m not to crazy about that!

Hi all, I've been very interested with GOS existence and want to put it into my little acer aspire one (8GB SSD), but I already have Xubuntu 8.10 as an external boot. So I manage to install it in a 4 GB flashdisk and boot from it with acer aspire one. I'm a newbie with linux world and I have tried several distros that can be installed on a usb (I prefered this because xp is my working environment right now), I think GOS is very cool os for a low performance system, nice interface and you have all that Google stuff, except Chrome. But what makes me went back to Xubuntu again is GOS doesn't recognize my tap with the touchpad so I have to press the touchpad button for a click and drag operation (the button click is loud in aspire one), but this will be no problem if you have the os on your desktop or with mouse attached on your laptop, for blogging or other online activities when you are mobile, attaching a mouse is a bit annoying, at least for me. I hope GOS will be more like Xubuntu in the future, both is Ubuntu based os. Well, one thing that I have to try is "If you already have ubuntu, you can install GOS in ubuntu sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install greenos-desktop xorg". Thanks for the tip.

@ jackie
I am sure ubuntu and GOS are very similar and GOS is even more friendly.

I would like to see a comparison of the memory usage between the two operating systems before coming to a decision.
