"By using the gOS operating system, we are bringing our customers one step closer to cloud computing. The operating system facilitates easy access to a number of Google services, as well as a host of easy to use, powerful open source programs," said Kogan.
"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.
