Anyone heard of this ?

Looks AWESOME!

Would be great if it worked on ARM and the TB.

(I requested a tester account).

Let me know if you're interested in making it work.

Cheers.

x86 based, we are using ARM... That means it won't work.

Its just re-badged Ubuntu, anyway, isn't it?

It seems like any Linux distribution with a collection programs that behave nice on a netbook. You should be able to compile the software for arm since it's mostly basic GTK-stuff(Gnome). It's possible that Debian/Ubuntu might have a lot of it already.

However I don't think Jolicloud or any other distribution with that set of programs can perform very well on TB since they are meant for x86 based computers with a lot more horsepower and RAM. Only the fact that it uses Gnome as the windowmanager is taking unnecessary amount of resources from what little we have...

Gnome is a desktop environment, not a window manager...

Yes, GNOME ships with Metacity by default. Also worth noting that Xfce/xfwm also use GTK. Regardless, it's really not hard to switch out desktop enviroments/window managers from prebuilt OSs (unless they're doing something wacky and hardcoding shit into the WM/DE).
