1108665 2010-06-10 03:47:00 I know this is making the rounds now - but is there any general consensus on it in Upsidedown Land?

LINK TO GOOGLE CHROMIUM DOWNLOAD SITE (?) (http://google-chromium-os.en.softonic.com/)

Just wonderin' if it would be an OS that they have up-n running or just some code to tinker with.

My code-tinkering days are over.

I want a reliable platform and I have an Asus Eee-pc to use it in/on.

Does anyone see a thumb-drive version of it there that I am missing?

1108666 2010-06-10 03:53:00 You could make the it bootable. Try this (www.bootdisk.com) method 6 woud be the logical choice. Or go down to your library and see if they have AUS PC User: Issue October 09 with CD/DVD. On the disk there is a useful tool that lets you boot linux iso files off USB. Picture.

build.chromium.org
chromium.r49231.tgz is the latest release.

Read your review - kewl!

I'll try this after I get back from some trout fishing, tomorrow .

Is it gonna zortch me like "L-based" things? I have a few 'minor' difficulties with things-L - about which you may not know .

Is there any preferred mobo and/or processor? Any decidedly dangerous to try it on?

Will it work on antique towers? I mean like a Dell XL450?

It's LATE:30 here - so I will get to bed now .

Thanks if you get any answers for me - in advance!
