I have written this from Jolicloud running on a USB stick on my eeePC
SD 701. This is the first time I have tried it. It uses the Chromium
browser. All OK so far. Wireless. OK. The only problem was getting the
USB installer to work. It complained it could not unmount the USB
stick before installing so I did it from a terminal. You have to
create an account or use your Facebook account if you have one.

I think it is a useful portable Distro but I will stick with Pupee'
