Hi

I installed gOS on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
It’s nice but I prefer Gnome windows desktop environment.

If you want to install gOS , from terminal do the following (ONE LINE AT A TIME HITTING ENTER AFTER EACH STEP):

• Adding gOS repositories

  echo "deb http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main"\
   | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
  

  echo "deb-src http://packages.thinkgos.com/gos/ painful main"\
   | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
  

• In the terminal enter the command to import the public key of the repository so that the signatures could be verified as follows :

  wget -q http://www.thinkgos.com/files/gos_repo_key.asc -O-\
   | sudo apt-key add -
  

• Next update your apt cache database using the command :

  sudo apt-get update
  

• To install the necessary files which will allow you to run gOS on Ubuntu, run the following apt-get command :

  sudo apt-get install greenos-desktop
  

• If you do not have enlightenment (e17) window manager (WM), then apt-get will have to download and install that too which could hike your download size by around 35 MB.

Once installed, you can select gOS/Enlightenment from sessions option in your login screen.

Good Luck
