Flipping the Linux switch: Switching, literally, with Ulteo Virtual Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Like andLinux, Ulteo's Virtual Desktop (often referred to with the rather 
| misfortunate name UlteoVD) runs off a coLinux base. There is no 
| virtualization software involved. But we'd especially recommend UlteoVD for 
| those pondering whether a Linux switch could work for them, for a number of 
| reasons.We'd recommend UlteoVD first to people who are currently using or 
| could see themselves using their previous services. Ulteo started by offering 
| OpenOffice.org in a browser, coupled with syncing services. Nice, for sure. 
| They then offered an installable Ulteo disk, which felt a lot like Ubuntu in 
| many ways, with the noticeable difference of automatic updates (as in, no 
| user interaction) and syncing with the browser based services.

Ubuntu 8.04 on an ASUS EEEPC 900

,----[ Quote ]
| I love working on my ASUS EEEPC 900 under Ubuntu 8.04, it is far more 
| customisable and mature -, but I have not totally banished the 
| factory-installed Xandros OS since I need it for internet access. GRUB allows 
| for for dual booting and should be best installed last.

| Once installed, Ulteo Virtual Desktop offers a special menu that can be used
| to launch a choice of well known open source applications including multi-IM
| software such as Kopete and music players such as Amarok and many others.
|
| Ulteo also includes automatic system and application updates as well as
| document synchronisation across all Ulteo systems.

Ulteo — My digital life made simple

| Now, after two years, there is a successive release of the Ulteo
| distribution. The purpose of the Beta1 Ulteo Application System is to feature
| what it can develop into in the nearest future, especially considering the
| Ulteo Online Desktop.

Ulteo Application System Beta 1 - the FOSSwire review

,----[ Quote ]
| Ulteo is no ordinary Linux distribution. It demonstrates incredible
| innovation.
|
| It is clear that in the future, we won’t use computers anything like we do
| now. More and more data will be moved away from specific client devices, like
| the PC, and be put on a server somewhere. It will be networks and
| infrastructure that then connect each client device to the data.  
|
| Wherever you are, whatever device you’re using, you’ll be able to access your
| data and keep it fully synchronised with everything else.
|
| Ulteo doesn’t do all this yet, it’s not even close. But Ulteo takes an
| important step towards this goal, and demonstrates how this might be
| possible, perhaps giving a little window into what could happen in the
| future.  
|
| It is an extremely promising proof of concept that this just might be able to
| work and I will continue to follow the Ulteo project with keen interest.

What Gael Did Next - Ulteo Online Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| I will admit that I haven’t played with it that much, so this review is a bit
| limited. That said, if you are away from your home machine, your office
| machine or even your home country, you can be working fairly quickly whether
| you carry a laptop or not.  
|
| If you are interested, go to the Ulteo homepage and sign up and try it out.
| It’s still in it’s relatively early stages (the software included in the
| desktop is not current) but already you can see that you have much more than
| Google are offering.

Ulteo brings OpenOffice to Web browser
