    Chrome OS

    Can anyone confirm what I think I've discovered regarding the Chrome OS? I've been poking around on the web and I believe that it is not currently available to the general public as something that can be downloaded and installed? Is this correct? I'm sure that a few months ago I had done just that (downloaded it) and used the OS for a short few hours (too lean for my liking).

    Re: Chrome OS

    I just downloaded it a couple days ago, so it is available to the general public. So far I haven't really tested it, the two machines I tried (a VM, and my legacy system) didn't like it too much...

    Re: Chrome OS

    BTW, the torrent's the way to go. I'm using the 'standard' (slow) downloader and it looks like it'll be 2+ hours. Killing now! Hmmmm.... 280.66meg? The regular DL was 697meg. Hmmmm......

    Re: Chrome OS

    So this is an image to be used with VirtualBox? Solves half the problem.

    Oh, I see. Live CD. I get it.

    Since I've already downloaded the virtual image and have it running, how do you turn this darned thing off!

    Re: Chrome OS

    With the vmware image, you can hit ctl+alt+T to open a terminal, then do sudo shutdown -h now

    Not sure about the version you have.

    Well, I've tried it. Seems to be mostly a browser and terminal at the moment.. Mostly useful, as I understand it, for cloud computing.
