Mic working on HP mini running Jolicloud

I guess the last update for Jolicloud sorta fixed the mic issue I was having.  This is on an HP mini 1000. I just have to set the input source to Line In once I start up.  This is done from volume control ==> options, then properties if it is not shown. I now have to see if a bluetooth headset works.

Boxee on Jolicloud HP mini

I installed boxee on my HP mini running Jolicloud.  I like its internet streaming ability might have to add it to my full size laptop.  That way I could watch on the big screen tv.  Jolicloud is making the netbook feel zippier.

Installed Jolicloud on Netbook

I wiped windows xp off my hp mini 1000 and installed Jolicloud as the only operating system.  It seems to be a good fit it is very snappy and responsive.  I like that it was no muss no fuss to setup with everything just working.  It took like 15 minutes to install that was from boot to install to running the operating system.  It takes like 30 seconds to boot from touching the power switch.

Trying Jolicloud on netbook

I used Unetbookin to install Jolicloud on my netbook, HP mini 1000.  It seems to be fast and responsive.  The media codecs are installed automatically.  Wireless works out of the box which is good.  I might have to go for a full install.  It seems to be a good match for an on the go machine, easy to keep up to date and runs quick on the hardware.  Have to see about using skydrive as a place to upload files for safekeeping while on the go.
