What’s really promising about MeeGo is the variety of devices it wants to run on: mainly in-car devices, and connected TV embedded OS opportunities. My entire trial was based upon being in a hard LAN environment which may have tainted my final review of the OS.
Meego os 1.2 drivers#
I ran MeeGo in the same USB-boot key method as Jolicloud, but drivers for my device weren’t readily apparent. The entire system promises a bevy of new, recommended, and lightweight cloud-based apps to help you get everything done.Īpps are launched from category buckets and that’s how your “installed” programs are organized and sought out. It supports the vast majority of “netbook” systems already out there, and aside from needing to jury-rig my Wireless the first time worked quite well. Jolicloud promised to be the OS with the most initial satistfaction for me. I should mention that I installed both only in the USB key scenario, not actually loading a full installation. I spent some time digging into two OS’s, with somewhat of the same aims: MeeGo and JoliCloud. Bonus points were its 16-gig SSD that Dell later stopped offering as an option, an SD card reader, and it’s price: $299 on a one day sale.
At 9 inches everything was just a little bit different and frustrating to use on it. The keyboard is cramped function keys are mapped funny, and it wasn’t terribly large. It was never a mighty machine, an Atom-based N450 in the Dell Mini 9 shell. Now that my little Hackintosh has been superceded by my mighty MacBook Pro, the poor thing sits unused in my home office just colleting dust. I spent the weekend doing a bit of searching around the web on alternative OS’s.
