Take Walmart's $199 PC Operating System for a Test Drive

gos.pngIf Wal-Mart's recently released $200 PC sounds like a potentially great deal but you're not sure about ditching your current operating system for the inexpensive, Linux-based Ubuntu box, head over to the developer's web site and download the bootable gOS LiveCD (or rather DVD, at 728MB).

If you've given gOS a try, let's hear how you like it in the comments.
