Update: gOS
I didn't care much for gOS. I couldn't put my finger on the specific reason why. I just felt it was too cluttered to get it working just right. The other problem I ran into was that I wasn't completely sure how to customize the work space. However, this is probably due more to my inexperience with Gnome than anything with the OS.
I'll take a look at other light weight Linux distros later on.
