I've just finished installing the Jolicloud operating system on my computer.
I know it belongs on a Netbook but I don't yet own one.
In any case, it's a pleasure to use and doesn't mess up your Windows installation.
You can download it from here

(This message is being posted while on that operating system)

Has any one else given this a spin

Portable Ubuntu is a stand-alone package that runs a fairly standard (i.e. orange-colored, GNOME-based) version
of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution.
It just doesn't bother creating its own desktop, and puts all its windows inside your Windows, er, windows.

This little Windows Only utility automatically uploads any file to online virus scanner VirusTotal,

with instant hash checking, letting you skip uploads altogether.
