After four months there’s finally a new release to download. The build routine has become a lot faster and easier to use. It can be executed on 64-bit systems only, however, so I had to install a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 first in order to create it. There are some obvious changes and a lot of changes under the hood, so it definitely makes sense to try out this one. You can configure your network connection before trying to login with a Google account now, which was a long-awaited feature in the community. You can also sign up for a new Google account from the login screen now.
I’m offering to versions for download now: one for use on USB drives and one for use with VMWare Player. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to make it run in VirtualBox, but I haven’t tried it on many systems, so it may be worth a try to use the VMWare version in VirtualBox. Please leave comments on your progress (no registration required).
Oh, yeah, and here is the link to the download page…
Hallo,
ist Google Chromes OS eher für den Privatanwender gedacht oder soll es auch ein attraktives Betriebssystem für Unternehmen werden?
Sind schon Software-Projekte in Richtung ERP / CRM angekündigt, die unter Chrome OS laufen sollen?
Schöne Grüße
Roland
Hi Roland!
Chrome OS is intended for personal as well as professional use. Professional use, however, is limited to web-based applications due to the design of the OS. I assume there is a variety of web-based CRM software already available and this may very likely apply to ERP software, too.
Erk
Whyyyyyyyyy! Why only 64-bits! I have a vaio VPCW12J1E December release worked very well i want to try this but i can’t, i have an Intel Atom N280….
Hey, don’t worry! 64 bits are only necessary to build it. It runs on 32 bit machines as well.
Ummm how do I get it to work in vmware, I double click the vmx file, it opens in vmware player and just hangs at the extlinux bit right at the start, am I doing something Wrong?
Citrix on Chromebooks
Any plans to embed the Citrix Receiver in the ChromeOS? The Cloud based citrix client only works for Citrix 6.5 and Citrix 6.5 only works in a pure 2008 server environment. We have several legacy applications that will never support a 64 bit / 2008 configuration. We want to deploy chromebooks with our hosted citrix solution as the next generation of thin clients. Please help!
