This is not intended to be my primary computer, but I find myself using it more and more frequently. The clean interface, the 20-30 seconds from power to Internet, and the long battery life are all attractive features. Many apps are available and more added weekly.

It seems to be a nice, stable, user friendly os. The nicest part for me is the 4gb ssd would be maxed out quickly with every os except puppy and w/ JC 1.1 still over a gb left even after a few updates. It also maximizes the webpages so you get bigger than standard screens to work with if you use the "app" version.

XP was miserably slow on my netbook; Jolicloud is a solid replacement.

0 on my netbook and it's an improvement in the UI, but I still don't really see how this is leaps and bounds better than just Windows 7. It definitely got away from looking straight up like Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Now the launcher is made entirely in HTML5 and it looks pretty nice. They also switched all the apps so that they run in Chrome. I think this is a big improvement because Firefox has gotten way too slow and you could see that in the previous version of Jolicloud.

I really wanted to like Jolicloud, but it needs a lot more work before prime time. Here are a few reasons why I can't use this full time on my netbook: - "Applications" are not really applications. When I heard that this had an app directory, I thought it would have customized apps for the netbook form factor. Turns out when you "install" these apps, they just create links to webpages that open in their own window. I'd rather just open up a browser and just go to the... Read more →

In the midst of attempting to install Jolicloud on the HP mini 311. First few tries didn't work, anyone else have any issues? Going to try again, will let you know if it takes this time.

Jolicloud OS is a layer on top of Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I really like the interface and it makes adding Applications (mostly just web app shortcuts) really seamless. I've had it on my wife's HP Mini 1000 for about 6 months and its a lot better (IMO) than Moblin or any of the other netbook specific OS's I've tried. Hit me with a DM on Twitter (@ledlow) with your info if you want an invitation to try Jolicloud. First come first get.

It's a version of Linux meant to make you're computer into more of a Cloud computer, much like Chrome OS. It uses mostly web apps, but can still use and install linux apps and has the plus of still having access to you're files on you're hardrive. It seems like the ideal mix between a Chromium and any other OS. It's a bit limiting in some sense, but works great. That above description is just for those of you who haven't heard of it yet (probably most of you) My...

It seems like this is a Ubuntu-based Linux OS with NBR installed, optimized for netbooks (Eee PC 900 running smoothly with it), but as my recent comment to the fan page of Jolicloud of Facebook: "Even though this is for netbooks (assuming so), it works incredibly well on my Lenovo W500. For a person who needs productivity now instead of 5 minutes later (easily comparable, 25 seconds versus 3-5 minutes of Windows 7 booting), Jolicloud is a highly recommended OS to be installed side-by-side...
