It was only a short time ago I wrote a piece detailing my initial thoughts on the little Everex boxes running a Google branded OS (Linux) that magically had no actual Google fingerprints anywhere on it at all. Today, I learned that their main distributor, Wal-Mart, has completely sold out of them. I have to admit, I'm speechless.
As much as I'm shocked to say this, the gOS-powered machines may have hit on a market that even other, better known distros have yet to approach on. I will continue in my belief that the gOS has only scraped the surface. But could it be that their marketing ploy is paying off where other distributions like Linspire and Xandros have failed in the same position - at Wal-Mart? What is the difference and why is one succeeding where others have failed? Does this mean instant success? It's a start, but not without some hard lessons.
