Recently, Google released the source code for its upcoming “operating system”, Chrome OS (Known internally as Chromium). It is over a year away from proper release, but I thought I’d give it a go.

Naturally, as it is supposed to be competition for Windows, it cannot be built under it, and HAS to be done under Linux. So I opted for as close a setup as the team themselves, and have installed the latest Ubuntu distribution, 9.10 (Known as Karmic). As it’s so late, I decided to just install it under VirtualBox, and update it, for now:

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) being updated in VirtualBox, by me, Tidosho!

Tomorrow comes the hard bit, actually grabbing the trunk via Git, and building the OS image to boot from USB……
