Want to breathe new life into your netbook?? Here’s a quick look at Jolicloud, a unique new Linux based OS that lets you use your netbook in a whole new way.

想為您的上網本注入新的活力嗎？ 快速瀏覽一下Jolicloud，這是一個獨特的基于Linux的新操作系統，可讓您以全新的方式使用上網本。

Netbooks have been an interesting category of computers.? When they were first released, most netbooks came with a stripped down Linux based operating system designed to let you easily access the internet first and foremost.? Consumers wanted more from their netbooks, so full OSes such as Windows XP and Ubuntu became the standard on netbooks.? Microsoft worked hard to get Windows 7 working great on netbooks, and today most netbooks run Windows 7 great.? But the Linux community hasn’t stood still either, and Jolicloud is proof of that.? Jolicloud is a unique OS designed to bring the best of both webapps and standard programs to your netbook.?? Keep reading to see if this is the perfect netbook OS for you.

上網本一直是計算機的有趣類別。 首次發行時，大多數上網本都帶有精簡Linux操作系統，旨在讓您輕松輕松地首先訪問互聯網。 消費者希望從上網本中獲得更多，因此完整的操作系統(例如Windows XP和Ubuntu)成為上網本的標準。 微軟努力使Windows 7在上網本上運行良好，今天大多數上網本都在Windows 7上運行良好。 但是Linux社區也沒有停滯不前，而Jolicloud就是證明。 Jolicloud是一個獨特的操作系統，旨在將最佳的Web應用程序和標準程序都帶到您的上網本中。 繼續閱讀，看看這是否是最適合您的上網本操作系統。

Getting Started

入門

Installing Jolicloud on your netbook is easy thanks to a the Jolicloud Express installer for Windows.? Since many netbooks run Windows by default, this makes it easy to install Jolicloud.? Plus, your Windows install is left untouched, so you can still easily access all your Windows files and programs.

得益于Windows的Jolicloud Express安裝程序，在上網本上安裝Jolicloud非常容易。 由于許多上網本默認情況下運行Windows，因此可以輕松安裝Jolicloud。 另外，您的Windows安裝不會受到影響，因此您仍然可以輕松訪問所有Windows文件和程序。

Download and run the roughly 700Mb installer (link below) just as a normal installer in Windows.

下載并運行大約700Mb的安裝程序(下面的鏈接)，就像在Windows中一樣。

This will first extract the needed files.

這將首先提取所需的文件。

Click Get started to install Jolicloud on your netbook.

單擊入門以在您的上網本上安裝Jolicloud。

Enter a username, password, and nickname for your computer.? Please note that the username must be all lowercase, and the nickname should not contain spaces or special characters.

輸入您的計算機的用戶名，密碼和昵稱。 請注意，用戶名必須全部為小寫，并且昵稱不得包含空格或特殊字符。

Now you can review the default installation settings.? By default it will take up 39Gb and install on your C:\ drive in English.? If you wish to change this, click Change.

現在，您可以查看默認安裝設置。 默認情況下，它將占用39Gb并以英語安裝在C：\驅動器上。 如果要更改此設置，請單擊“更改”。

We chose to install it on the D: drive on this netbook, as its harddrive was already partitioned into two parts.? Click Save when your settings are all correct, and then click Next in the previous window.

我們選擇將其安裝在此上網本的D：驅動器上，因為其硬盤驅動器已被分為兩部分。 設置全部正確后，單擊“保存”，然后在上一個窗口中單擊“下一步”。

Jolicloud will prepare for the installation.? This took about 5 minutes in our test.? Click Next when this is finished.

Jolicloud將為安裝做準備。 在我們的測試中，這大約花費了5分鐘。 完成后，單擊“下一步”。

Click Restart now to install and run Jolicloud.

單擊立即重啟以安裝和運行Jolicloud。

When your netbook reboots, it will initialize the Jolicloud setup.

當您的上網本重啟時，它將初始化Jolicloud設置。

It will then automatically finish the installation.? Just sit back and wait; there’s nothing for you to do right now.? The installation took about 20 minutes in our test.

然后它將自動完成安裝。 只是坐下來等待； 您現在無事可做。 在我們的測試中，安裝過程大約花費了20分鐘。

Jolicloud will automatically reboot when the setup is finished.

設置完成后，Jolicloud將自動重啟。

Once it’s rebooted, you’re ready to go!? Enter the username, then the password, that you chose earlier when you were installing Jolicloud from Windows.

重新啟動后，就可以開始了！ 輸入您先前在Windows上安裝Jolicloud時選擇的用戶名，然后輸入密碼。

Welcome to your Jolicloud desktop!

歡迎來到您的Jolicloud桌面！

Hardware Support

硬體支援

We installed Jolicloud on a Samsung N150 netbook with an Atom N450 processor, 1Gb Ram, 250Gb harddrive, and WiFi b/g/n with Bluetooth.? Amazingly, once Jolicloud was installed, everything was ready to use.? No drivers to install, no settings to hassle with, it was all installed and set up perfectly.? Power settings worked great, and closing the netbook put it to sleep just like in Windows.

我們在裝有Atom N450處理器，1Gb Ram，250Gb硬盤和帶藍牙功能的WiFi b / g / n的Samsung N150上網本上安裝了Jolicloud。 令人驚訝的是，一旦安裝了Jolicloud，一切就可以使用了。 沒有要安裝的驅動程序，沒有麻煩的設置，所有這些都已完美安裝和設置。 電源設置效果很好，并且關閉上網本會使它進入Hibernate狀態，就像在Windows中一樣。

WiFi drivers have typically been difficult to find and install on Linux, but Jolicloud had our netbook’s wifi working immediately.? To get online, simply click the Wireless icon on the top right, and select the wireless network you want to connect to.

WiFi驅動程序通常很難在Linux上找到和安裝，但是Jolicloud可以讓我們上網本的wifi立即工作。 要上網，只需單擊右上角的“無線”圖標，然后選擇要連接的無線網絡。

Jolicloud will let you know when it is signed on.

Jolicloud會在登錄時通知您。

Wired Lan networking was also seamless; simply connect your cable and you’re ready to go.? The webcam and touchpad also worked perfectly directly.? The only thing missing was multitouch; this touchpad has two finger scroll, pinch zoom, and other nice multitouch features in Windows, but in Julicloud it only functioned as a standard touchpad.? It did have tap to click activated by default, as well as right-side scrolling, which is nice.

有線局域網聯網也是無縫的。 只需連接電纜，即可開始使用。 網絡攝像頭和觸摸板也可以直接完美運行。 唯一缺少的是多點觸控。 該觸摸板在Windows中具有兩個手指滾動，捏合縮放以及其他出色的多點觸摸功能，但在Julicloud中，它僅用作標準觸摸板。 默認情況下，它確實具有點擊激活的功能以及右側滾動功能，這很好。

Jolicloud also supported our video card without any extra work.? The native resolution was already selected, and the only problem we had with the screen was that there was no apparent way to change the brightness.? This is not a major problem, but would be nice to have.? The Samsung N150 has Intel GMA3150 integrated graphics, and Jolicloud promises 1080p HD video on it.? It did playback 720p H.264 video flawlessly without installing anything extra, but it stuttered on full 1080p HD (which is the exact same as this netbook’s video playback in Windows 7 – 720p works great, but it stutters on 1080p).? We would be excited to see full HD on this netbook, but 720p is definitely fine for most stuff.

Jolicloud還支持我們的視頻卡，無需任何額外的工作。 已經選擇了原始分辨率，而屏幕的唯一問題是沒有明顯的方法來更改亮度。 這不是主要問題，但是很高興。 三星N150具有Intel GMA3150集成顯卡，而Jolicloud承諾可以在其上播放1080p高清視頻。 它確實可以完美地播放720p H.264視頻，而沒有安裝任何額外的東西，但是在全1080p HD上卻出現卡頓現象(這與Windows 7中該上網本的視頻回放完全相同-720p效果很好，但在1080p上卻出現卡頓現象)。 我們很高興在此上網本上看到全高清，但是720p對于大多數內容來說絕對是不錯的選擇。

Jolicloud supports a wide range of netbooks, and based on our experience we would expect it to work as good on any supported hardware.? Check out the list of supported netbooks to see if your netbook is supported; if not, it still may work but you may have to install special drivers.

Jolicloud支持多種上網本，根據我們的經驗，我們希望它在任何受支持的硬件上都能正常工作。 請查看受支持的上網本列表，以了解您的上網本是否受支持； 如果沒有，它仍然可以工作，但是您可能必須安裝特殊的驅動程序。

Jolicloud’s performance was very similar to Windows 7 on our netbook.? It boots in about 30 seconds, and apps load fairly quickly.? In general, we couldn’t tell much difference in performance between Jolicloud and Windows 7, though this isn’t a problem since Windows 7 runs great on the current generation of netbooks.

Jolicloud的性能與我們的上網本上的Windows 7非常相似。 它會在大約30秒內啟動，并且應用程序加載速度相當快。 總的來說，我們不能說出Jolicloud和Wi??ndows 7在性能上有多少差異，盡管這不是問題，因為Windows 7在當前一代的上網本上運行良好。

Using Jolicloud

使用Jolicloud

Ready to start putting Jolicloud to use?? Your fresh Jolicloud install you can run several built-in apps, such as Firefox, a calculator, and the chat client Pidgin.? It also has a media player and file viewer installed, so you can play MP3s or MPG videos, or read PDF ebooks without installing anything extra.? It also has Flash player installed so you can watch videos online easily.

準備開始使用Jolicloud了嗎？ 您剛安裝的Jolicloud可以運行多個內置應用程序，例如Firefox，計算器和聊天客戶端Pidgin。 它還安裝了媒體播放器和文件查看器，因此您可以播放MP3或MPG視頻或閱讀PDF電子書，而無需額外安裝任何東西。 它還安裝了Flash Player，因此您可以輕松地在線觀看視頻。

You can also directly access all of your files from the right side of your home screen.? You can even access your Windows files; in our test, the 116.9 GB Media was C: from Windows.? Select it to browse and open any file you had saved in Windows.

您也可以從主屏幕右側直接訪問所有文件。 您甚至可以訪問Windows文件。 在我們的測試中，Windows的116.9 GB媒體是C:。 選擇它可以瀏覽并打開您在Windows中保存的任何文件。

You may need to enter your password to access it.

您可能需要輸入密碼才能訪問它。

Once you’re authenticated it, you’ll see all of your Windows files and folders.? Your User files (Documents, Music, Videos, etc.) will be in the Users folder.

通過身份驗證后，您將看到所有Windows文件和文件夾。 您的用戶文件(文檔，音樂，視頻等)將位于“用戶”文件夾中。

And, you can easily add files from removable media such as USB flash drives and memory cards.? Jolicloud recognized a flash drive we tested with no trouble at all.

而且，您可以輕松地從可移動媒體(例如USB閃存驅動器和存儲卡)中添加文件。 Jolicloud完全認可了我們測試過的閃存驅動器。

Add new apps

新增應用

But, the best part about Jolicloud is that it makes it very easy to install new apps.? Click the Get Started button on your homescreen.

但是，關于Jolicloud的最好之處在于，它使安裝新應用程序變得非常容易。 單擊主屏幕上的“入門”按鈕。

You’ll first need to create an account.? You can then use this same account on another netbook if you wish, and your settings will automatically be synced between the two.

您首先需要創建一個帳戶。 然后，您可以根據需要在另一個上網本上使用同一帳戶，并且您的設置將自動在兩者之間同步。

You can either signup using your Facebook account,

您可以使用您的Facebook帳戶進行注冊，

…or you can sign up the traditional way with your email address, name, and password.? If you sign up this way, you will need to confirm your email address before your account will be finished.

…或者您可以使用您的電子郵件地址，名稱和密碼注冊傳統方式。 如果您以這種方式注冊，則需要先確認您的電子郵件地址，然后才能完成帳戶。

Now, choose your netbook model from the list, and enter a name for your computer.

現在，從列表中選擇您的上網本型號，然后輸入計算機的名稱。

And that’s it!? You’ll now see the Jolicloud dashboard, which will show you updates and notifications from friends who also use Jolicloud.

就是這樣！ 現在，您將看到Jolicloud儀表板，該儀表板將向您顯示來自也使用Jolicloud的朋友的更新和??通知。

Click the App directory to find new apps for your netbook.? Here you will find a variety of webapps, such as Gmail, along with native applications, such as Skype, that you can install on your netbook.? Simply click the Install button on the right to add the app to your netbook.

單擊“應用程序”目錄以查找您的上網本的新應用程序。 在這里，您可以找到各種Web應用程序(例如Gmail)以及本機應用程序(例如Skype)，可以將其安裝在上網本上。 只需單擊右側的“安裝”按鈕即可將應用程序添加到您的上網本中。

You will be prompted to enter your system password, and then the app will install without any further input.

系統將提示您輸入系統密碼，然后該應用將安裝而無需任何其他輸入。

Once an app is installed, a check mark will appear beside its name.? You can remove it by clicking the Remove button, and it will uninstall seamlessly.

安裝應用后，其名稱旁會出現一個復選標記。 您可以通過單擊“刪除”按鈕將其刪除，它將無縫地卸載。

Webapps, such as Gmail, actually run in in a Chrome-powered window that lets the webapp run full screen.? This gives the webapps a native feel, but actually they’re just running the same as they would in a standard web browser.

實際上，Gmail之類的Web應用程序實際上是在由Chrome驅動的窗口中運行的，該窗口可使Web應用程序全屏運行。 這給Webapp帶來了本機的感覺，但實際上它們的運行方式與標準Web瀏覽器中的運行方式相同。

The Jolicloud Interface

Jolicloud界面

Most apps run maximized, and there is no way to run them smaller.? This in general works good, since with small screens most apps need to run full-screen anyhow.

大多數應用程序都以最大化的方式運行，并且無法將其運行得更小。 總的來說，這很有效，因為大多數應用程序都需要在小屏幕上運行全屏。

Smaller apps, such as a calculator or the Pidgin chat client, run in a window just like they do on other operating systems.

較小的應用程序(例如計算器或Pidgin聊天客戶端)在窗口中運行，就像在其他操作系統上一樣。

You can switch to another app that’s running by selecting it’s icon on the top left, or you can go back to the home screen by clicking the home screen.? If you’re finished with an program, simply click the red X button on the top right of the window when you’re running it.

您可以通過選擇左上角的圖標來切換到另一個正在運行的應用程序，也可以通過單擊主屏幕返回到主屏幕。 如果您已完成程序，則在運行程序時只需單擊窗口右上方的紅色X按鈕即可。

Or, you can switch between programs using standard keyboard shortcuts such as Alt-tab.

或者，您可以使用標準鍵盤快捷鍵(例如Alt-tab)在程序之間切換。

The default page on the home screen is the favorites page, and all of your other programs are orginized in their own sections on the left hand side.? But, if you want to add one of these to your favorites page, simply right-click on it and select Add to Favorites.

主屏幕上的默認頁面是“收藏夾”頁面，所有其他程序都在左側的自己的部分中組織。 但是，如果要將其中之一添加到“收藏夾”頁面，只需右鍵單擊它，然后選擇“添加到收藏夾”。

When you’re done for the day, you can simply close your netbook to put it to sleep.? Or, if you want to shut down, just press the Quit button on the bottom right of the home screen and then select Shut Down.

完成一天的工作后，您只需關閉上網本，使其進入睡眠狀態即可。 或者，如果要關閉，只需按主屏幕右下角的退出按鈕，然后選擇關閉即可。
