[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
After lots of reading and many failed installs, I finally have a working Google Chrome on my Slackware!
Here is a quick guide of what I have done:

Is everything working? I know it is still an alpha stage?

Is it faster?

I got Chrome version 4.0.237.0 working on Slackware64 13.0. It seems much faster than Firefox and generally renders better too (Zoom is much better). Acid score was 94/100, but on windoze it's 100/100 so they still have some work to do. One question I have is how can I set the fonts? I didn't see it in the options, so maybe there is a hackable file somewhere?
