NetOS is a codename for this project, as it's in an initial startup phase it was the quickest and more direct name we could come up with for now. Pay little attention to the name.
Now the concept for NetOS is to create a new Linux Distro that is redesigned with everything modern in mind - considerations for cloud computing, advance desktop computing power to limited netbook processing power, availability for tablets, social networking, instant messaging, communication, e-mail, contacts, calendars, integrated web browser (Chrome OS concept), usability (amazing user interface - Mac OS X concept), quick bootup time (Chrome OS concept, now a goal for everyone), mobility and no-fear backups and syncing between your devices, privacy and encryption, shared computer uses, use of the system for eduction, business, personal, entertainment, better support for videos, music, photos, games and more. And the toughest goal, to get people using it.
This concept has been submitted to KickStarter, and will be looking for other opportunities for funding to help make this idea come to life. The blog is to discuss the concepts we want to implement into the NetOS system and to get feedback on the implementation, design, usability, and everything.
NetOS will be kept open source, exact license is undecided but you can be sure we'll be looking for development help. Anyone who has recently left Ubuntu's core development team or who thought Linux Mint was a good start but just doesn't really cut it still - then hop on board as we'll love the help.
