gOS Android G2 Tribute PC

October 28th, 2008 by Katherine Druckman

Your rating: None

Time's running out to get your hands on this cute little green dude that runs gOS Linux.

Remember our March 2008 cover featuring David Liu and gOS? David Liu's "good" OS, known for shipping pre-installed on the low-cost Linux machine that infamously sold out at Wal-Mart, gets a lot of its pizazz and usability from its prominent use of Google gadgets and apps, and thus gOS pays tribute to the release of Android, Google's new mobile operating system poised to put Linux in the hands of millions of smartphone users with this custom built PC by Eric Burke. Read more about it over at the gOS blog.

The auction ends on Oct 30 at 3:58 PDT, so don't forget to place your bid if you want this little guy for yourself. Proceeds will be donated to DonorsChoose.org via the TechCrunch Challenge.

If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
