Other OS Ideas? Battery Low Shutdown Not Working (Jolicloud)

tivotron · 2010-10-22

[b]model: Asus AO751h[/b] I had terrible experience with Win 7 and XP. Didn't like it at all. So I switched to Jolicloud (see below for msg I posted about the big issue I'm having with that OS). Any other OS to suggest? We really ONLY use this netbook for Internet browsing (Chrome & FF). Thanks. [i][u]Previous message:[/u][/i] [quote=tivotron]Overall, I'm pretty happy with Jolicloud as a basic, clean OS. The one major problem I'm having though, however, is that there is [b][color=#FF0000]no automatic shutdown feature when the battery level gets critically low[/color][/b]. Instead, the power simply goes out and I often need to re-install the OS (I don't know why, but when I try to re-boot with the AC attached, I just get a bunch of gobbly-gook numbers on the screen and no boot-up). Any advice? I can't be the only poor sap with this issue! Thanks a lot.[/quote]
