Before the negative posts start arriving please understand that this is my comment to the editorial story on IDG which I’ve linked here for you entitled:

“http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=E7290BAD-D82E-48D3-7B44A9A6D5FAD161” “Why Linux on the Desktop Is Dead”

To clarify, I call any PC which a user sits at, that has the traditional keyboard, mouse and display a desktop PC.

I cannot fault the author of that article because it is simply true. You can convert users, but over time without good constant support from a real person they are likely to move back to Windows.

Yes, I did finally update this. This time two separate video’s to attempt to keep the boredom viewing times to a reasonable limit.

This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.
Part 1:

Part 2:

I hope this helps anyone having issues with this process. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

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

If you’ve attempted to upgrade your Java from Sun and encountered this error, you probably were left scratching your head,  The link to Sun’s Help Resources have no effective solution at the time or writing this, it simply states:

The actual root cause of this issue is still under investigation…

Isn’t that helpful…I have discovered a solution hopefully it will work for you.
