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.

New Versions of Linux
I've been using Debian almost exclusively as my Linux platform of choice, however, I think it's time to take a gander at Ubuntu Server. It's built from Debian, meaning it can use the APT repository (which is one big reason why I like Debian). It's also meant to act as a server, which could be good for me. I want to test e-mail settings on my server in case I need to set up a new server.
Moreover, I'm going to take another look at gOS. I tried gOS once a while back on a woefully inadequate computer and it was a miserable disaster. However, I have a computer that's slightly more powerful (P4 w/ 256mb of memory) that may be able to handle gOS. If gOS runs well, it might be a viable alternative to Windows on the lower end computers we have in the office.
In other news, I've been hired recently as a consultant to a law firm. I'm going to use this opportunity to potentially jump-start a consulting side business. I've since registered a new domain (methompson.com) and will start developing a website for that domain.
