| beneficial at all? Letâs see how is the new
| Jolicloud OS from a viewpoint of a die-hard
| Linux user.

Nokia to Consolidate Handset LineupâFinally
,----[ Quote ]
| The Finnish companyâs success selling low-
| to mid-range smartphones in developing
| markets is well documented, but Nokia
| continues to lose ground in the U.S. and
| Europe as superphones from Apple and
| Research In Motion chip away at its market
| share. And Nokia is increasingly threatened
| by Android, which has gained sudden momentum
| in the wake of its Verizon Wireless Droid
| initiative.

Jolicloud - Distro Review
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all Jolicloud is a very solid netbook
| distro. It has replaced Ubuntu Karmic as the
| default operating system on my Asus EEE PC.
| If you own a tiny computer it is definitely
| one worth checking out. Rock solid distro
| thus far and I feel the Joli team will only
| deliver more spectacular features before
| they come into a full 1.0 release.

Jolicloud brings the stupidity of web apps to Linux netbooks.
,----[ Quote ]
| There may well be something I'm not getting here, but I
| honestly can't see what the big deal is about this new
| Jolicloud distro.
|
| I should point out that my experience was with an installation
| of Jolicloud within Easy Peasy, another netbook Linux with
| Ubuntu Netbook Remix. But I did try out Jolicloud proper on a
| previous occasion, and it didn't seem any different...

Jolicloud OS seeks to move past browsers
,----[ Quote ]
| Jolicloud starts with a great OS, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and
| couples it with a different way to use existing web
| applications. We think the developers have done a great job
| integrating Prism into their interface and find it very
| usable. Only time will tell if users are willing to migrate
| from traditional browsing, to using web apps for what they
| really are: an application.

Jolicloud Innovates Atop Ubuntu Netbook Remix
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux distributions designed specifically for use on netbooks is nothing
| new. Canonical produces the Ubuntu Netbook Remix version of Ubuntu for
| these small-sized devices, Intel has their Moblin distribution that is
| very fast and offers an attractive interface, gOS has their own netbook
| 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

| 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.

Jolicloud â The Innovative OS For The Web-Centric Crowd

| to use interface, it really worth the praise.

Kubuntu Linux 9.10
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm please to (mostly) give this release of
| Kubuntu a thumbs up. Yes, there were some
| things I didnât like but overall I think
| this is a step up from the last release and
| itâs quite usable. Iâd like to see a better
| software management tool but it is
| functional as it is (though it leaves much
| to be desired in some ways) and I donât
| think itâs a show-stopper.
|
| Kubuntu can be used by beginners and more
| experienced users alike. However, beginners
| might want to opt for the KDE version of
| Linux Mint after it is updated to
| incorporate the latest version of Ubuntu
| (9.10). Itâs not that Kubuntu isnât worth
| using, itâs just that Linux Mint is a bit
| more elegant and includes additional
| software that makes using it easier and more
| comfortable right from the start.
|
| Still, I think that Kubuntu is worth a
| download and well worth considering if
| youâre a KDE fan.

Ubuntu 9.10 review: Karmic Koala
,----[ Quote ]
| Nonetheless, thereâs virtually nothing an
| Ubuntu desktop machine canât do that a
| Windows one can, and itâs all for free. For
| that reason alone it makes a lot of sense to
| at least consider a roll-out or a
| feasibility study to assess the costs of
| staff retraining, should you decide to
| abandon the Microsoft ship.

Review: Ubuntu 9.10 first look
,----[ Quote ]
| As Linux matures, it's becoming more and
| more of an OS accessible to the average
| user. KK is another step in that direction.
| There are still a few foreign concepts for a
| Windows convert to absorb, but on the whole
| Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, is a package that
| won't be a horrible stretch for the novice,
| yet contains enhancements for the Linux guru
| as well.

| I for this review I was running on an AMD

Can the Karmic Koala Take on Win 7?

| over mainstream computer users to any great
| extent.

| The release of the newest version of Ubuntu is only

A closer look at Kubuntu Karmic Koala and KDE 4.3.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Karmic Koala is still in Beta status, but
| looks very promising. To some extend it beats the
| Release Candidate of Microsoft Windows 7, especially
| in Wireless networking support.
|
| The big win of Karmic Koala are its even further
| improved speed, less resources hungriness and
| improved hardware support.
|
| I tested Microsoft Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100),
| Kubuntu GNU/Linux Karmic Koala Alpha 5 and Ubuntu
| GNU/Linux Karmic Koala Beta 1 last week and I'm
| afraid Windows 7 will (b)eat the dust.
