[GRLUG] Chrome OS on your computer

[Bob Kline]

http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

The turnout at last night's GRLUG
meet was quite good.  At least 14
people.  The Starbucks location has
worked out well.  So far there's never
been any shortage of space for the
GRLUG meets.

One fellow showed off his Asus
machine running Chrome OS.  What
seemed to be of interest is that it is
actually installed on the machine,
since it wasn't clear that Chrome OS
supported any hardware but Google's
own CR-48 machine, and the Samsung
and Acer machines.  But the Asus
machine runs fine, comes up very
quickly, and shuts down almost
instantly.  Not clear what the battery
life situation is.

The URL above will take you to a
website where you can make a USB
setup, and run Chrome OS on your
own iron.
