Why I'm jolly impressed with Jolicloud 1.0

"I've spent the last few days using, rather than cursing at, my netbook.

"My thoughts on the Nokia Booklet 3G have been documented already, so I won't bore you with that other than to remind you that the device is very pretty and well-specified, except for its lousy Atom Z530 processor, which really struggles under Windows 7 Starter Edition.

"So I decided to try something different. Having gone to an Ubuntu event last week, I gave Ubuntu Netbook Remix a shot, only to find it was having difficulty with the unusual 720p resolution of the Booklet 3G. I know it's not that difficult to configure such things on Linux, but I don't care — right now I'm in search of the easiest-to-use, most netbook-friendly distro out there."
