I have in the past recommended the Zonbu project to those out there wanting to support Linux, but aren’t computer gurus.  I now feel that I must publicly give an update related to that recommendation.

First, in their defense, I want to say that my Zonbu mini did in fact break a few months ago. Something to do with the flash card port I think. Although it took a few weeks, I did in fact get a replacement Zonbu mini.

As for the overall business, I was an early adopter also. I am a firm believer that it is in the best interest of everyone for us to move away from the Microsoft dominated world. That was why I bought the Zonbu mini, which I don’t think is even being sold now. I wanted to help support a company that would assist in that goal.

I am guessing from the lack of OS updates recently that not enough people purchased the Zonbu devices to make it profitable enough for the primary designers to work on Zonbu full time.

I think they have the best platform currently out there to launch a true cloud based OS… which is a worthy goal. I have to warn consumers though, that they are not staying in touch with their customers. They seem to still be supporting the OS, but they are completely silent on the current status and direction of the company.  There is a lot of frustration among their paying customers about the lack of knowledge of what is going on.

Due to my own business growth, I have not had time of late to post a lot on this blog. I am going to try to start posting more of my helpful computer posts, though.  I actually started turning down some data recovery and computer repair jobs in Gainesville, because I was just to busy.  After that time of slowing down my own business.. I am finally about caught up.

So, I hope to be back up with my own communication!

Thanks!
