Really, the most interesting? I can't be distracted by the web fronts
of the organizations behind it.

gOS and everex unfortunately both come across as... well this comment
on their forum rings true, "unfortunately gOS seems more like a
college kids dorm project than an actual supported product. FAQLY is
another dorm project written by one of the everex boys, so we are
probably stuck with it." http://www.faqly.com/faq/view/id/34 . After
visiting the those light on support forums check out the comments on
Everex forums http://www.everexforum.com/forum/index.php .

Both sites are very light on detail and high on buzz word droppings
and tilted images. What struck a nerve for me is the "green" angle
with nothing to back it up other than lots of the use of the color
green.
