New versions of all Linux images (again)

by

Another update for all images. Sorry to do one so soon after the last (It has been a lot of work this weekend – after this i’m having a rest!). There were some stability concerns with the last images, and I have done some tweaks and performance improvements. The latest images work well for me in testing so far, and fingers crossed they will work for you too.

    Changes include:

  • Use NOOP io scheduler by default that should be faster on USB flash devices
  • Shutdown/Reboot should be more reliable
  • Use text splash screens on boot
  • Updated firmware for the wireless card

New versions of all Linux images, including Joli OS 1.2

by

The Jolicloud OS has been renamed to Joli OS, to avoid confusion with their online desktop app. With this change, the new 1.2 version was also released bringing new functionality and performance – see http://www.jolicloud.com/blog/2011/03/09/welcome-to-the-new-jolicloud/. The 1.2 version has now been adapted for the Joggler and can be downloaded from the Jolicloud page.

Ubuntu Maverick and Linux Mint have also been updated. Changes include an updated kernel (2.6.37.3) and a new btrfs with the much faster lzo compression.
