Jolicloud Wants to be your Other Linux OS

“Operating System choices for the Netbook market continue to
grow, at least from the Linux perspective. Current alternatives
include Ubuntu’s Netbook Remix, Moblin, and now Jolicloud. Add to
that mix Google’s Chromium OS, and you have four very viable
options to pick from. Each OS has its own set of distinctive
features while providing the common applications we all need to get
things done.

“With plenty of Netbook models and Christmas sales, it’s a good
bet that a lot of folks may soon have a new toy to play with. If
you happen to get one of these with Windows installed and you’d
like another option, you’re in luck. Jolicloud works on a large
number of Netbook models. There’s a list of supported models on the
Jolicloud website.

“One of the biggest things that impressed us about Jolicloud is
that it just works. We tested the latest Pre-Beta release on a
Lenovo S10e, and everything worked including Bluetooth, wireless
and video. It even gave us a useful mapping of the Windows key on
the keyboard. Other little things like Adobe Flash work right out
of the box so you won’t have to go looking for plugins.”
