The Jolicloud public beta is built around a recent Linux 2.6.32-rc6 kernel, available for i386 or the Intel Atom, as well as Debian and Ubuntu. Other features include X.org 1.6.0 and the Gnome 2.24.0 desktop, says Jolicloud. The distribution offers both Firefox 3.5.3 and Prism 1.0b2 browsers, and supports a wide variety of wireless protocols, as well as audio and video formats, says the company.
Basic services include an icon-based launcher and an app directory, which offers a wide variety of web-based apps like Gmail, Google Reader, Google Chrome, Facebook, and Twitter. Other applications include Pidgin IM, Skype, Zoho Writer, the Wine Windows Emulator, and Boxee.
Social networking is supported with a "friend stream" notification feature, as well as an action history page. An update manager page notifies users when updates are available for various applications, enabling "one click" installs, says the company.
