Chrome for Linux

Is anyone else running the Chrome for Linux "unstable" release? What do you think?

which one is that dog?

Moolux (which is slax-big/slackware) has chrome available too

I just mean the one available here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

It takes a little doing to get it working on Slackware, but it works well so far . . .

(Also looks like I just successfully got the user-agent string to report Slackware properly.)

you should check out moolux, not only does it run from hd/usb "out-of-the-box"
but also has a hd installer
I think its slack13 too

to run from hd/usb, just copy there and setup grub or syslinux
its easy and has many apps too

Dude . . . I was just wanting people's impressions of chrome on Linux . . . no need to superfluously advocate for some obscure distro on my thread.

No, I have no interest in moolux.
Why take this thread immediately off-topic for no reason?

foodown, I have been running Chromium for awhile it is real snappy. I have been curious about Google Chrome for Linux to see what the difference will be.Thanks for the link I will post back after I have tried it.

OK, now I have tried it, I like it I will am looking forward to addons such ass greaemonkey to port over to chrome. I tweaked Firefox3.5 to see how it compared Chrome. Chrome still seems quicker, I guess that has to do with chrome using webkit.

Using Chromium 4.0.219.3 (27336) right now, it seems to run a lot better than Firefox on my systems.
