Default [Gizmodo] Jolicloud's Beautifully Designed Netbook Linux OS


Quote:
I agree with designer Tariq Krim that we've yet to see an OS interface perfectly implemented to a netbook's uniquely small hardware. Hence Jolicloud, and judging from this UI shot, he's on to something. Yes, this is what our netbooks need: clear, big app icons (big enough to be touchable) on scrollable page a la the iPhone OS, an easy installer interface for quickly adding more, constant access to a universal search bar, all presented in a clean, clear and colorful design scheme.
Jolicloud isn't out yet, but you can track its progress here: Jolicloud, Jolicloud Flickr Stream via Crunch Gear and BBG

This has got to be the sexiest out-of-the-box linux I've seen so far.
(And that concludes today's gizmodo news postings by me )

eh, it does look great, but I'm so sure about the user friendliness of the layout itself.

THIS is what we need to netbooks.. not XP or Vista.

Something like this really utilizes the small screen size netbooks have opposed to the normal GUI of Windows or OSX for that matter.
