How do you start Google Chrome at startup?
nice job
Can i add chrome os its repositories to KDE4 ??
…so itś SUSE Chrome, not origin Google – but why can ‘t I connect using wnw stick 4 D1 UMTS to t-online ?
gnome-network-manager 0.8.2 can ´t identify my huawei E176 – all other linuxes have no problems (actual ubuntu 11.10, win7 too…).
alternate linux standard modem connection “wvdial” is not implemented (common in most linuxes) it’s helpful, if nm-applet doesn ´t work succesfully.
…so I can ’ t connect to internet
will try to copy wvdial from suse server…hope it will be a troubleshooter ?
..have android on samsung-tablet 10.1 in use – and itś great, just with small 16 MB storage and so easy to use
This release does not seem able to display Asian Languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean correctly. It still does not work even after their fonts have been loaded.
Chrome OS Lime by Hexxeh, on the other hand, correctly displays these without any configuration, and it is also much faster.
I run these OS on USB.
Wy google dont put THIS os in a chromebook! Its much mug better!!!
I like it but is slow…
Now it’s much faster thanks to a brand new Linux kernel!
what’s it got to do with chrome?
It incorporates always the latest version of the fastest and most secure web browser Google Chrome!
This is pretty good, although the file is huge… Too bad we can’t compress it…
Vou fazer teste com virtual box bem que poderia ter uma versão em português brasileiro.
Can I clone this appliance?
Sorry, you can’t. However, you can download it, install and customize.
I just thought i would add this for those of you who want the Google Chrome OS, It is available here http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/vanilla.php
But be warned all it is, is the Google chrome browser thats all it is, thats your whole desktop . There is no accessing your files like windows or linux or mac . Theres no fancy widgets or anything ! This is made for netbooks .
And that is where Chrome OS Linux comes in! A new version has just arrived!
i like it
Chrome Is A Browser Not OS And The OS Isn’t Even Got Chrome Programming Stuff With It!!
Soz I Didn’t See Sources Take It All Back
Pretty Good
JERK!
This Charles guy is a idiot. It’s based on Slackware. Not Craptoonbu.
This Linux can confuse to the people… Most of them think they’re downloading Google Chrome OS, that only works with a browser. But when they discover that is not…
Hey, is a good OS! But I initially thought that it was like official Chrome OS…
This Is Fake the real Chrome OS is based off Ubuntu, not SUSE, and is not downloadable it only comes preinstalled on hardware designed for it. Visit google.com/chromeos for more information on the REAL Chrome OS
Relax. This is not “Google Chrome OS”, but “Chrome OS Linux” and it is not related to Google, which has already been stated above and below. So start reading and not duplicating.

Perfeto! But, it I can close right out.
chrome os is already invented that is on wikipedia
“Google Chrome OS”, unlike “Chrome OS”, does not exist yet!
No.It does exist There diffrent saying but they mean the same thing.
Is this the only Google Chrome OS in the world now? Is Chrome OS=Google Chrome OS?
Sorry I mean Google Chrome OS=Chrome OS Linux?
I know.
you can test it by downloading the iso file and running it in VirtualBox
can i clone this to test it
Yes I did that
THIS is the Chrome OS I followed.
BTW, give it the google chrome logo.
Good (y)
