Google Chromium on Dell Mini

Developers at Dell have managed to run a version of Google Chrome on a Netbook one year before the official release of the OS is planned. The ChromiumOS is a customised version of the open source software that Google has introduced recently. Users need 8GB of USB flash drive to run the version on their Dell Mini 10v. ChromiumOS for the Dell Mini can be downloaded for free from the internet.

The platform has not been tested excessivley so initial problems can be expected. ChromiumOS is a test version for Dell Mini users and the developers are looking forward to feedback to improve the system. The boot-up time for the OS is a quick 12 seconds, so much faster than for many other operating systems. For more information have a look at the Direct2Dell blog.
