gOS, my kind of appliance

I've got quite a few old machines in the house, an old Dell tower packed full of hard drives, a 1u server in the basement, a (now dead) desktop machine that was a print server until I got an Airport Base Station, plus the only machine I'm really using, a WD (I think) netCenter.

So I decided to load the Dell box up with gOS. It's a bummer the machine is so large, but I'm gonna find  a keyboard, trackpad combo to help the foot print. At any rate.

I thought it'd be cool to have a machine in the kitchen, for looking up recipies, checking email, etc. so I loaded up gOS, created two accounts; me and Nicole, and away we go.

I've only been playing with it for a while, but it's no surprise Wal-Mart sold out of the actual machines, as reported by TechCrunch. The OS is great, so far, I doubt a power user could use it full time, but I think for an appliance, in a kitchen or basement, someplace you only need a machine for simple tasks, it's great!

Sure I could load Ubuntu, been there done that, but this OS is just "complete" all the google apps, skype, meebo, etc. pre loaded.

Check it out, the live CD is easy to use.
