.....is Wal-Mart supporting this? If so, I am not downloading gOS. I won't have anything to do with Wal-Mart or its evil partners.


/sarcasm. You should get the joke. :)

Thanks for the torrent :)

Deluge is already showing 2 seeders!

I'll keep mine open to @ least a 3.0 ratio, likely higher depending on activity/demand tomorrow morning.

Thanks also for the quick work on the forum (I'll probably be needing it)

[multifaceted]

Hmmmmm.... that is tempting....
:-P

[mistergq]

I have 25% so far. I am very interested in this.

[-grubby]

why is this going so terribly slow? It's going at about 20 k/s

Congratulations on being the first gOS forum member! ;)

I plan to have the gOS Forum laid out and up and running by this weekend.

We need seeders, the more seeders the faster your downloads will be.

This was just posted it will get faster as more seeders contribute.

looks like you're the joke.

[sloggerkhan]

You were really quick on this one. Hope you improve the graphic look of the forum pretty quick. But how did you snag the 'official forum' status?

[mistergq]

well, I have 69% and am off to bed. I will let this run through the night and all day tomorrow. that should **** coNcast off :rolleyes: :p

[sloggerkhan]

Damn, I swear the layout and look of the gOS forum changed as I wrote that last message.

[RAV TUX]

Damn, I swear the layout and look of the gOS forum changed as I wrote that last message.It is constantly changing as I am searching for a perfect fit.

"Green"...will be the default forum color once I find a suitable theme.

[songshu]

can you tell some more about the apps being used?

i'm starting a download now and will keep it seeding for the weekend,

thanks guys, who's behing this?

[Tux Aubrey]

Great - more than 30 seeders right now. 4-5 hrs download for me.

Thanks for this.

[D-EJ915]

it's 728MB, I assume it burns to 700MB cds alright?

[rogerdean]

guess not. the site says burn to DVD...

[mikewhatever]

it's 728MB, I assume it burns to 700MB cds alright?

A floppy, may be? Happy downloading.

[mistergq]

yeah, I just wasted a cd because I did not think about it. I am going to burn it to dvd. I have an older computer I wanted to install this on, but that computer does not have a DVD player on the computer. I am debating about what to do with that one. I could throw a dvd player into the machine, but not sure yet. will think about it.

[Frak]

I suggest taking out some files to make it fit on CD.

[n3tfury]

that minimalistic OS needs a DVD? that's too bad.

[init1]

I might have to use Virtualbox because I don't have a DVD burner. I wonder if it will run on a USB drive...

[RAV TUX]

The gOS Dev is working on a skinny version that will fit on a CD...this will take time.

[init1]

Downloading. Only 19 hours left :D

Hey RAV, is there anything wrong with your host? I keep getting alot of "Server not found".

I am currently on a shared host that has too many accounts on it, I just spoke with the host (a good friend of mine) that will move CafeLinux.org to another server with less accounts.

If we don't see improvements we could switch host, &/or move to a VPS host or possibly even a dedicated server.

Very cool, thanks RAV :)

[Cochise]

[RAV TUX]

I finally have the gOS torrent downloaded ;)

...but now I am too sleepy to try it I'm off to bed.

[Tux Aubrey]

OK. Since RAV TUX has gone off to bed, I'll post a screenshot.

As others have said, the default setup may be non-threatening to new users but it doesn't really showcase what e17 is capable of. Its pretty straightforward to modify (although the installed version has more backgrounds and themes available than the Live version). Seems pretty good so far and, although I'm not a web apps fan at all, it may just fill a market niche that no one else has really targeted.

The biggest problem I have had is that the gOS repos seem to be down.

I will uninstall the Google search bar too.

[Frak]

Very cool Tux Aubrey, I also think you helped me fix my toolbar (bottom) problem. :D

[telic]

In Firefox, the gOS user-agent ID string is identical to that of Gutsy. How about adding "gOS" in there?

;)

[Dark-Ace]

Wow...the first release of gOS but anyways, i was wondering and hoping if this is possible, if anyone can put up there torrent of gOS up for direct download because me and torrents never mix......plus is this a Live DVD/install or just install only if possible?

[RAV TUX]

The gOS CD is available for your download enjoyment at LinuxTracker:

[-grubby]

I've unknowingly been seeding this for 2 days...

[JacobRogers]

I'll try it after they get out of alpha

[Frak]

Getting the CD version NOW. I've been using it in a VM for this entire time (I don't under-use DVD space, its a condition I have ;))

[JacobRogers]

I've been trying to download it for 36 minutes but my torrent tracker won't pick up any traction.

[Dark-Ace]

Now are you guys working on the Direct Download with both DVD and CD version up.

[RAV TUX]

Now are you guys working on the Direct Download with both DVD and CD version up.Yes...

[JacobRogers]

I'm currently downloading the new ISO that'll fit on a CD. I have no experience with the enlightenment DE

Enlightenment 17 is pure pleasure.

[Dark-Ace]

So before i give this a try,what do people think about gOS?

I like it, still early in development, but I like it.

[Dark-Ace]

What type of PC's does it work best on?

[VCSkier]

On an Everex gPC, or course. ;)

j/k... I would guess that, because it is based on Ubuntu 7.10, it would run fine in all Ubuntu compatible systems.

Correct. Only changes are the WM, DE, and some extra apps.

[Dark-Ace]

Awesome...so what i'll do is wait for the Direct Download and then get it on a cd to test it out.

[kensan2]

For those waiting for gOS to exit Alpha stage, *for me personally* I haven't found any crashes or reboots. Even hibernate works out of the box, which doesn't even work in my windowsxp partition on this same dual boot laptop!

I will say though that the gOS installer stomped my existing grub setup (as well it should as I blew away my previous gentoo install for this) and left my laptop unbootable after the install. I had to use the livecd, mount the root partition, edit the default file and create a menu.lst file by hand to get xp and gOS booting again.

Luckily my experience with gentoo made me completely confident in doing these things by hand;-)

I would imagine on a dedicated linux box with 1 hard drive the install would have just worked.

Just giving a heads up to anyone, and a thumbs up to gOS for being slick and fast and smooth! (This is on a Sony VAIO laptop PCG-K27.)

[Tux Aubrey]

+1 on gOS stability (although the default e17 filemanager is, IMO, still buggy).

Luckily my experience with gentoo made me completely confident in doing these things by hand.:)

lol.

Now look at my speed and weep ;)
(however pages are loading extremely slow now :neutral: )

Curious to try this out :)

Edit:
Darn, just finished and I just realized it won't fit on a regular CD :( ](*,)

[Caffeine_Junky]

is anyone else getting a 404 Error from this addy?

Yep. Having some probs getting the "DNS to propagate" (whatever that means).

[kagashe]

I downloaded the files from Linuxtracker torrent. md5sum was ok, burned CD. It is booting into first green gOS splash screen when I selected the first option there was an error while booting vmlinuz. Then I selected CD integrity check again it failed booting vmlinuz stage. Then I tried various boot options like acpi=off noapic nolapic etc. then it produced following error:
Loading /casper/vmlinuz ...... isolinux: Disk error 32 AX=4280, drive gF
Boot Failed : press a key to retry

Then I mounted the CD and found the md5sum of vmlinuz on a textfile and decided to check it. While checking md5sum of vmlinuz the error was:
Input Output error

I am planning to mount the iso and check the md5sum of vmlinuz on the iso and if it is ok burn another CD,otherwise replace the file from Gutsy.

Did you burn it to a regular CD? As I mentioned in my other post I found out it's too big for a regular CD :(

[VCSkier]

check http://www.thinkgos.com/downloads.html

The new version (1.0.1) has worked off a couple MB, so it fits on a regular CD now.

[RAV TUX]

It's all good now ;)
