Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part Seven - References

Yup, there is still one more section to the review.  This is just a list of references that were used during the review.  Some of them were information sources I used, some of them were items I referenced in the review itself.  I thought there was some value in pulling all of the references together in a single location.

Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part Six

Finally, the end of the review is in sight.  I finally try to tie everyhting together and give my overall impressions.  Tomorrow is the real end of the whole document as I pull all of the references into one place.  And, we'll start my follow up to the review, written about a week after the original review.

Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part Five

If I hadn't gone past the original goal of writing a review bfore this point, I really did in this section.  This portion of the review is a test to see if I could replicate the concepts of the gOS desktop using different window managers / desktop systems.  I only tested two that I felt were equivalent, and comfortable enough for most users to use, however as I noted there are a lot of other choices.  The main point here was there was a lack of major though into designing the user interface.  But, that is only my opinion, and it's possibly a bit extreme.

Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part Four

When I contacted PJ at Groklaw the original plan had been to write about the first 12 hours I spent working on the gPC.  However, I soon found that I had to write about a few more things...

 In this section, I look at some performance  measurements and address a one major flaw, and one minor flaw in the system.

Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part Three

I have studied good and bad user interface design, and in this portion of my look at gOS I explain some of the issues i see in the gOS desktop.  Next I resolve the error that I had started seeing the night before when I updated the system. Next I testi out gPC's multimedia functionaltiy, and run into a familiar problem again.

Any system that I use needs to have a good set of installed applications for daily usage.  A HowToForge document can give you a good baseline for the applications that you may need to install to make the system full function.  Next in testing out the desktop handling I look at Xfce and Enlightenment, and make a finding that spells the end for one of them being usable for me.

Reviewing the gPC and gOS: Part One

The review that will follow over the next several days was originally published on Groklaw.  This is the review that PJ saw fit to dub "Tweaking Everex's $199 TC2502 Green PC and gOS".  It was this review that is now the namesake of this web site, so I feel it is only appropriate to re-publish it here.  Of course, being an extremely large review, I will post it multiple parts over the next week or so.

Why Linux Tweakers???


While the rest of the world is still using Windows or OS/X you have decided to take a risk.  You are an adventurous person, who seeks more out of their computer than what the status quo deems reasonable.  In other words: you have decided to use linux.

Congratulations!

You are joining an estimated 29 million other linux users.

Now that you have joined our teaming ranks, you are probably trying to figure out, "what next?"  Sure, you've probably read some of the Learn Linux Fast or You Too Can Be A Linux Guru type books, but you have found that you don't really feel like you've learned everything, or become a guru.  Don't fret!  That's why this site was born...

I have teamed up with Jason G. (a friend and co-worker) and have started this site to help you.  Read on for some more insight as to what this site is all about.
