Chrome OS

I know its been a long time since Chrome OS was announced and the source code was made available but I've just managed to piggy back some one else's had work and all round awesomeness and run it on one of our older machines. I have to promote Hexxeh's work here as having a go with Chrome OS using the method on the site is virtually foolproof.

Anyway, I digress. If you've used Chrome browser its virtually identical. But the applications on there were brilliant. I don't know if Hexxeh has added them or they come as standard but there didn't seem much missing from a normal linux distro.

I am however seeking the holy grail on my test linux box. It currently runs lubuntu but I feel this is a little slow. Likewise for Mint LXDE. So if I can persuade crunchbang to install I might just be happy!
