Try Out a Fan-Made "Chrome OS" Linux Build

,----[ Quote ]
| "Chrome OS" was built using SUSE Studio, a 
| distribution and virtual appliance builder spawned 
| from the OpenSUSE Linux distribution. It loads up with 
| a Chrome icon, uses built-in webapp links to Google 
| Calendar, Gmail, and other Google services as apps, 
| and carries a copy of OpenOffice, just in case you 
| need some straight-up desktop editing done. Most 
| importantly, it holds the latest development copy of 
| Google Chrome inside, along with a pre-built Flash 
| plug-in.

Want To Impress Your Friends? Run Chrome OS

,----[ Quote ]
| We have all read the news that Google is planning to
| enter the operating system market with their soon to
| be released Google Chrome OS which is initially
| targeting the netbook market. Google Chrome OS is
| based on Googleâs web browser Google Chrome and a
| Linux kernel. Little information are know as of yet.
| The ones that are available state that Google Chrome
| OS will be released as Open Source, that it will use a
| minimalistic design and that it will likely be
| released in the second half of 2010.
|
| [...]
|
| To be 100% clear here. This is a custom Linux
| distribution and not the official Google Chrome OS. It
| still resembles the operating system and can be used
| as a Live CD to run the Google Chrome web browser on
| Linux. Interested users can download the Live CD or
| the virtual image from the Chrome OS Linux website.
