I need a desktop computer at home and I think this is perfect for me:

Walmart is now selling the Everex gPC TC2502 desktop computer powered by a Linux-based “Google Operating System”.

Says John Biggs of the New York Times in a report:

This computer has a 1.5-gigahertz Via processor, 512 megabytes of memory and an 80-gigabyte hard drive. What makes it stand out, however, is GOS, a version of Linux specially made to run Google applications like GMail and Google Documents. It also runs OpenOffice, an open-source office suite that can handle Microsoft Word documents, and some multimedia applications.

According to Gadgetell, the GOS is based on Ubuntu:

The PC2502 gPC is an affordable Linux based PC running a custom distribution of Ubuntu.
