Hot:

I wasn’t going to get into this too much since the download is one you’ll have to build and I didn’t want to go through all the motions to make this happen.  But it appears someone has created a Virtual Machine (VM) you can use to try it out.

http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/ is the place to get it at.  You will need to create an account on the site (free), download a copy of Chrome OS which they offer a link to do that and you’ll need a VM platform to get it working.  VMWare is what it’s designed for, but VirtualBox can also use vmware images but there could be issues (not all work perfectly) as you’ll see from the site.

http://www.vmware.com/products/player — To Get Vmware Player.  If you have a Mac you can use Fusion, and it should work find on other VMWare products.

http://www.virtualbox.org — To get VirtualBox, but I’d recommend installing it from your distributions repository for full support, other wise you’re on your own updating it and all that fun stuff.

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html — Source from Google, may have to jump through some hoops to download it

http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os — To Get Chrome OS ready to go.

Note: all these links can be found on gdgt.com directly from the first link in this article.  I include them for convenience.

Also you can review TechCrunch’s web site that will give you some step-by-step instructions along with a torrent link to download it from also
