Another interesting point is Kogan's choice of operating system: the Ubuntu-based gOS."Most importantly, gOS is extremely easy to use. It's a very aesthetically pleasing, powerful, intuitive, and fast operating system. One thing we're hoping to do is make Linux less daunting for everyone, including casual computer users."
gOS includes Firefox, Open Office, and WINE (which allows the use of some Windows applications), and handles Google Gadgets.
If gOS isn't to your taste, support is available for those wishing to install a different operating system.
According to Kogan officials, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, KDE4, Windows XP and Windows 7 all work "very well" on the Agora Netbook.
Kogan is already accepting orders for its new netbooks, which will ship on April 10.
