I’ve been eagerly awaiting information on the upcoming Jolicloud OS and finally we can see what this cloud oriented OS brings to the table.
Sascha has a great video of the Jolicloud alpha over at Netbooknews.com. The 14 minute video gives a very nice overview of Jolicloud, which Sascha is calling a ‘social OS’. I have to agree that Jolicloud looks like it is much more than just another Linux distro with a netbook orientation. They are really bringing the concept of cloud computing into the OS itself. One of the thing that I find most interesting is that all of your settings are essentially stored in the web an synced between any devices that you own running Jolicloud. I’m not entirely sure if it works like this yet, but it seems that you might be able to sit down to a friends computer that is running Jolicloud, log in, and be looking at the exact configuration that you would be if you were using you own computer. Head over to Sascha’s site to see the video overview of Jolicloud, and don’t forget to swing by Jolicloud.com and enter your email address if you are looking for an invite to the Jolicloud alpha.
