[SOLVED] Chromium conundrum

nnjond · 03-20-2011, 07:43 AM

Hi, Once again I've been left feeling stupid at my misunderstanding something I thought was so straight-forward:

I've followed some instructions from Ubuntu Geek and installed the Chromium os; hopping I would see it appear as an option on my Grub menu. However it seems that I have to load 10.10 before I can cross-over to the Chromium browser; which rather defeats the object of running an alternative enviroment. Am I to understand I must wait for the specific HW to be made available before I can boot straight into a cloud os?

Thanks for your time.

You're going to have to link to the instructions you used. It is not clear what you installed. There is a Chromium browser that runs in any Linux OS and there is a Chromium OS that is a Linux based OS of its own.

Thanks for your interest. I'm interested in trying the fast Cloud os.

That one is for the Chromium Browser not the OS.

I'm not sure how usable Chromium OS is at the moment and I read somewhere that Google expects to have a hardware product to go with it. If you're interested in cloud-based operating systems in general, have you tried out Joli OS? It's Linux-based as far as I know.
