I decided to post a little introduction to myself here: Ask me who I was last March, and I would have had WinBloze 7 Beta on my main computer and would have been part of Micro$uck's test project for WinBloze 7 and would have been excited about it. However, that changed as soon as my network adapter changed and the new one worked with Linux. As soon as I tested the new adapter with Mint (I'd say about a year ago, in July 2009) I began to really value Linux for what it is.
However, I knew about Linux long before that. I started with gOS 2, which was my first distro. I had tried it back in about February 2008. I first learned about Linux back in mid-2007, from an article in PCMag that spanned several pages. I had quite a hard time back then, and Ubuntu Hardy was no different than gOS.
So then what took me so long from knowing about Linux to finally becoming an active user? My house was nothing but Wi-Fi. My mother set a secure wireless network up back then, and I couldn't connect to it because my adapter (Linksys WUSB54GSC) wasn't recognized by Linux. I had the patience to continue.
Then, in June 2008, my family got hit by the economic collapse here in the USA: The mortgage on my old house doubled and my family had to leave because of the rate increase. So, we were stuck in a hotel room until my family and I could end up in a new house. That Christmas, I wanted a netbook, and got my wish (the one I'm typing on, an Acer Aspire One AOA110-1545). It came with Linux preinstalled, and I liked it all around.
From then to June 2009, I still had WinBloze on my desktop, as Linux still didn't work with my wireless network adapter. Then, in June 2009 as I said, I got a new wireless network adapter, and in July decided to test it with Linux Mint 7. It worked, even from the Live CD! Now,

Chromium OS ARM and x86 build scripts
Tags arm, chromium-os, x86

http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...ownload&psid=1
The former link automatically builds Chromium OS for an ARM build target, as in automatically executing the other build scripts that are part of the Chromium OS build instructions, automatically installing GClient, automatically checking out the source, automatically setting up the chroot, automatically entering the chroot, automatically setting up the board target, automatically building the packages, and automatically building the image, finally asking you to run the scripts necessary to write the image to a USB drive or virtual Qemu machine.
The latter link does the same for an x86 (Intel/AMD) build target.
Any opinions? Do you think it is much better than having to follow all the build instructions? Please comment and let me know.
