JoliCloud, A new Linux Distribution aimed at the Netbooks we use, and shooting for the Cloud. Leveraging the Cloud based apps around us. Right now they are in public alpha, but my initial reaction is that if this is Alpha, the Gold is gonna rock.
The literature, etc, from the site, leads me to believe that the creators of JoliCloud Linux, "get it" when it comes to Cloud Computing, and they are committed to aiming at the concept of , always on, always available computing. They are IMHO right. You don't need to worry about syncing 4 or 5 copies of a single data/app/configuration set when you only have 2, current and backup. (You do, do backups of critical data don't you?) You just need that all important way to reliably access it inside the cloud.
