Jolicloud

I've been using this cloud-based operating system on my sluggish old Acer Aspire One A110L netbook for about a week now and so far it's pretty good. Much quicker than Ubuntu Netbook Remix which I was previously using which the AA1 struggled with - mostly because of the dog-slow SSD employed by the Acer rather than any underlying problem with UNR.  Jolicloud is Ubuntu based, with a UI provided using HTML5. And it's open source :-) More at www.jolicloud.com
