EyeOS: Browser-based operating system

EyeOSEyeOS is a cool app that I think will take some time to find its niche. EyeOS is technically a web app, but you have to find our own web space which supports PHP if you want to use it.

Apps are easy one-click installs, but unfortunately the selection is extremely limited at this time. The bundled apps include a calendar, calculator, text editor, and web browser (how meta), and there are a few that you can install from the web including an IRC client, but that's basically it for now.
