Here we have a sneak peak at what Google is working on – a “working” version of Google Chromium OS. (Download Google Chromium OS) The file size (300MB compressed / 700MB uncompressed) can be set up on your computer using VMware or Virtualbox, or can be sent to your thumb drive to be setup and taken around with you to show your friends. The file was provided by GDGT.com. I’m not sure if I’m officially supposed to use this on my website, but I figure I get like 2 hits a day, so what the heck. Also, here are some tips from GDGT:
Helpful tips, if you download it:
- To use the vmdk file, open VMware and create a new virtual machine. One of the options will be to use an “existing virtual disk.” (In VMware Fusion, this is the last option below, “use operating system disk” and “use OS disc image file.”)
- Make sure your VM is set to use bridged networking, rather than NAT.
- The username and password to login to Chrome OS / Chromium OS is your google account!
