Can I install jolicloud on a normal laptop?
Can I install jolicloud on a pc (running vista home premium) and have both vista and jolicloud?
If I can't, I suggest that we should make that possible, because everyone would love to have jolicloud.

Hello,
since we have optimized the kernel for netbooks and smaller screen-size, we support only netbook usage of jolicloud. As any linux you can make it run anywhere on a computer and a virtualization app like virtualbox. In general you would replace our optimized kernel by the generic kernel and figure out the configuration of the graphics drivers.
Unfortunately we can not support theses configurations. As you can imagine it's already very complex to deal with existing netbooks and we want to focus on this. We also believe that netbooks are so cheap that you can buy an old one to try it :)
If you are successful in installing your product on something else than a netbook, please let us know in the wiki.jolicloud.com
best,

Inappropriate?I would love to resurrect old hardware (of about netbook standard) with this OS.
Please tell me this works. -
Inappropriate?Since it's based on Ubuntu, there shouldn't be much problem installing this on a non-netbook, although I can't comment on how the Jolicloud interface would behave with a high resolution screen. I'll give it a go sometime (just got my alpha invite =D), and I'll come back and let you know how it goes
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?works fine on my laptop =) so yes.. probably every laptop which can run ubuntu, could run jolicloud
HP Compaq 8510w
@popple3: screen res still looks fine in 1600x1024 ;-)
I’m satisfied
-
Inappropriate?Well I'm using it on an ACER ASPIRE 5612 and no problem as other people have said is a Ubuntu,

Inappropriate?have it running on a D420 - although i can't install any applications from the Jolli cloud app, don't think thats the laptop though
-
Inappropriate?I have also installed in a regular toshiba laptop (intel centrino core 2 duo 2ghz, 4gb ram,320gb hdd, ati hd3470) everything it's ok except for the choppy, stuttering, horribly annoying lagging homescreen,you can view the complete review here: http://getsatisfaction.com/jolicloud/...
If it wasn't for this lagging i would substitute ubuntu (that runs perfect on my laptop) with Jolicloud, because of the superb interface and the concept behind it plus it's much more practical... thanks again!
I’m confused

Inappropriate?I had it running on a Dell Dimension 4600. I did not use it too extensively, but it worked good enough when I used it.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Not sure why you would ask this question. It's Linux underneath after all.
Before I even read this forum I had already tried it (it works perfectly on my Acer Aspire). So can you. Just take the USB key installer you made to install on your netbook an plug it into your laptop or desktop PC and boot from it. Choose the Live mode instead of the install mode and see if it works on your PC. If it does (remember to test sound, network, graphics, wireless, storage and any other hardware you want to use) then install it on the hard drive or better yet on another USB stick. A nice 8-16 GB high speed USB stick would work nicely.
If some hardware doesn't work, then oh well. Either don't use Jolicloud or be prepared to hack in your own driver support. That's what Linux is about. Being able to make it do what you want it to. Otherwise, buy a Mac which is about doing what Steve Jobs wants you to.
I’m amused

Inappropriate?I have Jolicloud running on my eeepc 900 and HP dv6113 laptop...
This is an AWSOME OS on both!! Works great!!
Great work!!
Looking forward to the beta and beyond.
I’m pleased

Inappropriate?The wiki says its not supported on the Dell Mini 10 but the wireless and the vesa drivers work fine. It has been shown to run on a UMID with a GMA 500 chipset but that's apparently the beta Jolicloud. As the creator noted, the company plans to try to optimize it on the all the range of netbooks that are available. Underneath is a standard Ubuntu desktop. Its more practical to run one of the standard Ubuntu distributions on a regular notebook.

Inappropriate?A few hours ago I installed it on Dell XPS (5years old). Works great. No issues at all. Great interface. I think I'll keep it on this.
-
Inappropriate?I've got it working on an old Dell Latitude D600. It's alot more simple than a full ubuntu install.

Inappropriate?I've got it working on my Sager NP8660. And I've got to tell you, aside from a few images that need to be tiled, the interface still looks really good at 1920x1200.

Inappropriate?Live boot on Samsung Q1 works fine so far, sound and touch active. Still need to test wireless, wired LAN
I’m excited
-
Inappropriate?Ive installed it on my Toshiba Satellite P200D and its working fine, the homepage is a bit jumpy but nothing major.
The only thing that ive come across is the drivers for my ATI HD2400 dont load but I beleive thats more to do with the older Ubuntu 9.04 coding ?

Inappropriate?Works fine on my IBM T42 "old" laptop !
No need to update any driver (Bluetooth, Wifi, Sound, ...) unlike on Windows 7 or XP. Everything is working just fine after the setup process. Great job !
I’m happy
