Jolicloud 1.0 OS Demo - It is like turning your Netbook into an iPhone!

[wengweng2003]

i was using windows7 (fast and good looking) until i came across jolicloud... things were never the same :) it was blazing fast :) they should make versions for smartphones :)

One could argue that 'turning your netbook into an iPhone' is actually degrading your netbook..

I was using windows for 8 months before my computer died. I was getting a blue screen and when I googled the error, the best advice I could come up with was to get a new hard drive. A friend suggested I could get a little more life from my netbook by running Ubuntu from a flash drive but then one day I inadvertently installed Ubuntu onto my computer, it worked!

I switched to the Jolicloud version of Ubuntu when I learned it was tailored to netbooks. Working great.

Can I try this on a desktop?

@Phosphorus16 Laptops and desktops should work but they can't provide support.

Nice , but i cannot download final version on official site , only prefinal ! Please upload this version on server, thanks.

@TNTikariam so you must download the prefinal os and after installing, you can upgrade to 1.0 final;)

Changing brightness: there is a Fn key on the bottom left of your keyboard. The key is used to activate secondary functions on the keys -- those keys with white and blue print. If you look at the bottom right arrow keys, those keys should change brightness and audio too, if you hold down the Fn key while you press them.

If they aren't functioning then you may need a BIOS update. That would require you follow careful instructions from Samsung to update -- at your own risk.
