The Great Open Source Netbook Interface Race
,----[ Quote ]
| Scheduled for official release at the end of
| this month, the Plasma Netbook Interface
| (PNI) is being developed concurrently with
| the standard KDE Desktop. However, it is
| already well-known, thanks to some stable
| beta releases.
|
| PNI offers a somewhat different experience
| from the standard KDE desktop. However,
| there are some obvious analogies. The panel
| is little changed in PNI, and the button on
| the upper right is functionally similar to
| standard KDE's desktop tool kit. Even the
| floating favorites and menu bars in the top
| middle of the screen are less of an
| innovation than they first appear, since
| they recall KRunner, the floating command
| center that many advanced KDE users prefer
| to the menu.

jolicloud - another Linux for Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| As I said, it looks to me like Jolicloud has
| in many ways the kind of "Social" orientation
| that Moblin has (see Facebook, Twitter etc.
| in the Apps shot above), but in my opinion
| they are doing a much better job of
| integrating it with Linux, keeping the whole
| thing much more familiar and accessible to
| experienced Linux users. Even more
| importantly, they have avoided the juvenile
| graphics that Moblin is riddled with, and
| they have actually produced an original and
| appealing interface. Their blog pomises that
| the "new UI" will be significantly better
| than this pre-Beta version, and if that is
| true it should be magnificent.

Jolicloud Wants to be your Other Linux OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall this distro is pretty slick. It
| generally succeeds on the stated goal of
| delivering a Linux version that's easy to
| install and works well either as a replacement
| for your original Netbook OS or alongside.
| With the extensive list of supported Netbooks,
| it should prove to be a winner. You have no
| more excuses if you're looking for a solid
| Netbook OS without the Windows baggage.

| The webpages on the Jolicloud site are also
| well thought out and well designed. More
| information about Jolicloud and support can be
| found on the community page. While you are
| here you will also notice that you can contact
| the Jolicloud crowd through Facebook, Flickr
| or IRC. The online documentation is quite
| good, although not as good or extensive as the
| documentation you will find in mainline
| GNU/Linux distributions such as Fedora,
| CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu.

Jolicloud "Robby" Beta To Ship WIth Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| In early September we featured an article
| on Jolicloud Linux, which sought to
| provide innovations atop Ubuntu Netbook
| Remix by enriching the experience for
| cloud computing and through their
| Jolicloud service to have easy access to
| various web-based applications. At that
| time we were seeded with an early alpha
| build of Jolicloud, but this morning (just
| a day after we published the first Chrome
| OS benchmarks), their CEO has provided us
| with a pre-beta copy of Jolicloud
| (codenamed "Robby").

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?

Hands-On Review Of Jolicloud, The iPhonesque OS For Netbooks

| 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.
