First devices with Chrome OS this month?
Although Chrome OS is still in Beta it won't be a big surprise if a pre-release version of the operating system will appear on some cheap Chinese hardware, as rumored by insider sources. |

I just downloaded and set up ChromeOS in a VM, it looks to me to be little more than OpenSuSE with the Chrome webbrowser offered as the default Browser. This is a checkbox option, if you don't select it, even if you do, you can install via Yast any other browser, anyway.
eeew
It's a fake: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/09/24/how-not-to-fake-goog...
Yet I fell for it enough to download and spin it in virtualbox. :S
Google promised a whole new UI, so it wouldn't be GNOME.

hmm, an interesting choice, as opensuse seems a bit bloated to me. (and I mean that in the nicest way possible)
"Does this code base make my filesystem look FAT?"
I can't seem to find it now, but I remember seeing some kind of project page for the Chrome OS that mentioned the use of GNOME.
Well, I've been thinking for a while that Google could save themselves a huge quantity of work if they just put a Google "theme" in front of a standard distribution.
Maybe they heard me. Eeeek indeed.
