Jolicloud


I was supposed to try this OS. I thought of reviving an old CPU as an internet box for a reception area. You know, to access Google Docs to update spreadsheets and limit the user's access.

I tried it on a Pentium III box with 256MB RAM. The install I thought was very familiar...then as I research on it, I found out that the core of JoliOS is linux, specifically UBUNTU. I thought it's going to be as easy...but ended up as a failure.

It turned out that this OS is such a resource hogger that the CPU was rendered useless. I ended up installing Ubuntu instead.
