Jolicloud â The Innovative OS For The Web-Centric Crowd
,----[ Quote ]
| For an OS that is still in alpha testing, Jolicloud is
| impressive. Surely there are plenty of bugs still need to be
| sorted out, but for the simple, yet user-friendly and easy
| to use interface, it really worth the praise.

Sellers and Buyers Should Do Their Homework
,----[ Quote ]
| Anyhow, I think that this boils down to people not doing
| their homework. For sellers, or those who bundle netbooks
| with their services (like telcos), they should research on
| their offerings before they do the marketing so that they
| will not make messages that could lead their customers to
| confusion. It matters what they say in their marketing copy
| before anything else. Sometimes catchphrases and slogans are
| culprits in giving customers the wrong impression. I hope
| that those who are selling netbooks will learn how to NOT
| give false expectations. Especially because Linux on
| netbooks is not what users know about all the time. If they
| donât want high return rates, then they should do their
| homework first. If they know that they might have to add
| trained customer service representatives who will be called
| for help, then they should make a way. Just because itâs a
| netbook with Linux shouldnât make their customers that it is
| an inferior product.

| I used the partition editor (gparted) to reduce the Windows
| partition from 300 GB to 32GB, and left the Recovery
| partition intact (just in case). I then set about installing
| (or trying to install) various Linux distributions. This was
| what I was really interested in, seeing how Linux dealt with
| the CPU and graphic controller, and specifically how the
| whole thing compared to the ASUS N10J with its Intel Atom
| CPU and nVidia graphic controller.

Jolicloud Innovates Atop Ubuntu Netbook Remix
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux distributions designed specifically for use on netbooks is nothing

| distribution...

| Jolicloud's 2.6.30 kernel is also built with GCC optimizations for the
| Intel Atom processor and has picked up several out-of-tree kernel modules
| to support different functionality like PCI overclocking and more WiFi
| drivers. Other core improvements include updating the Intel Linux graphics
| stack, striping out unused kernel modules, and making other performance
| refinements.

Jolicloud's Netbook OS is Getting Noticed, Looks Unique
,----[ Quote ]
| Malmrose isn't the only one taking notice of Jolicloud. CNet's Josh Lowensohn
| has taken the beta version of Jolicloud's OS through some early paces, and
| says: "I've been giving it a thorough run-though over the past few days and
| have come away impressed at what it's trying to do. Some bits and pieces are
| definitely still beta, but the underlying approach of making Web sites and
| software applications feel the same, as well as introducing users to new ones
| to use is really innovative." Does this unusual netbook operating system have
| a chance?

Installed Jolicloud, and WOW!
,----[ Quote ]
| This weekend, I installed Jolicloud on Leslee's netbook. Jolicloud is
| currently in private alpha. I put in for a key quite a long time ago. A few
| months ago, I finally got accepted. But....I've been really busy with the
| wedding and honeymoon, so it just sat there. Now I regret it. Wow,
| Jolicloud is phenominal.

Checking out the Jolicloud Netbook OS
,----[ Quote ]
| That may, actually, be exactly what is needed to bring the concepts of Ubuntu
| Netbook Remix to the masses. Itâs too early to tell, but Jolicloud looks like
| it has a chance of being one of the first Linux-based netbook distros to take
| off, if they can get deals with hardware manufacturers.

Hands-On Review Of Jolicloud, The iPhonesque OS For Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Founder and former CEO of Netvibes Tariq Krim is moving forward with his
| ambitious Jolicloud project, looking to build a better operating system for
| web workers with netbooks (or smartbooks or cloud computers, whichever term
| you prefer). A couple of days ago, we got a couple of exclusive screenshots
| from the team, and just a day after the startup started sending out a handful
| of invite codes for early adopters who wanted to get a peak at the alpha
| developer release. I also got hold of one and have been using Jolicloud on my
| Acer Aspire ONE for about four days now. These are my initial findings.
