New NetBook and running Jolicloud

Wee!


Got myself a new NetBook, an ASUS eee 1101AH 160GB/1GB, to be more specific! It's wonderful to have something as handy to carry around, weighing in at only 1.35kg. Plans are to replace the 160GB SATA with an SSD, but it seems like a messy project trying to break into the internals of this compact thing. I'll get to it eventually.

Anyway, it's running Jolicloud Pre-Beta, a NetBook "remix" of Ubuntu with GMA500 support (like "DELLs Ubuntu") and one-click installs, community etc. Check it out if you can, it's cool.
They don't however provide all their source code (yet), so you've been warned (but hey, ppl use M$ everyday so..).
