and PKGBUILD based on the chromium-browser-bin one that will build the Chrome interface like the one that will be found on ChromeOS, it's not the ChromeOS itself.

not working for me

Pull it from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chrom … owser-bin/

JonathanArcher · 2009-11-19 20:16:26

Hm, so practically all data you work with on Chromium OS is saved in a "cloud" at some random google server? If so, thats not really appealing to me.

flamelab · 2009-11-19 20:17:59

It's Debian Linux, so it's not necessary to do that (I mean, you can customise it)

Minishark · 2009-11-19 20:43:39

I agree. I don't like the idea of turning my PC into a Google Dumb Terminal.

iza · 2009-11-19 20:47:08

It seems primarily aimed at casual netbook users who don't really use the computer for anything but browsing the web. It definitely has the potential to be successful in that area, but it isn't meant to be anyone's main work station.

flamelab · 2009-11-19 21:17:32

Αs I can see there, its use looks like that one of a tiling WM which can have docked windows.

sctincman · 2009-11-19 21:26:09

I thought they weren't going to include an x-server, but looks like they're using the ubuntu xorg package http://src.chromium.org/cgi-bin/gitweb. … -xorg-core

That aside, I like the approach they took with fast boot by trying to cut out everything they could or wasn't needed.

edit: Oh, and also the part where they state about pushing hardware devs to publish open source drivers. I like the idea of google using their clout for that

Τhey seem to use a lot of lightweight apps (slim for example, as a DM).

PS I'd like to use the moblin xorg-server patches they have up there

Obi-Lan · 2009-11-19 22:14:41

If one uses 90% of computer time on internet Chromium OS can be a good alternative. Why load any extra software when you just want get to facebook? Upload pictures from camera straight to cloud, work on and save documents straight to cloud, get cloud based mail and calendar synced on several devices: I think this will appeal to many (not fanatic linux users), If your netbook or computer is broken just get another one, sign in and continue where you left. If somebody nukes data center, data will be accessible on other without interruption. No need to fight with computer repair shop which lost all of your precicous holiday pictures.

Google is showing Chromius OS with its own cloud services but if Chromium OS becomes a success, I think other companies will come with their own services.

Privacy is issue but it is every time when you connect to internet.

Gen2ly · 2009-11-19 23:58:36

I always wondered how Google Docs would fit it. Most people have Office of Works so I never saw how anyone could benefit by using it (except for the handy step of not having to email a doc). If ChromeOS gets enough users it actually could build to be something that equates to Office. Way too early to see but thinking it might be possible.

Αnd the bad side:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/353458/goog … s-unveiled

All applications will be web apps, all data will be stored in the cloud and the operating system will be booted from Flash - no hard disks will be supported.

Google said consumers won't be able to download the operating system - it will only be available on hardware that meets Google's specifications. Hard disks are banned, for instance, while Google said it will also specify factors such as screen sizes and display resolutions.

Lol, I guess that there won't be long before we are gonna see ChromeOS custom spins.

That sounds almost like Apple...

Of course, what they really mean is that they won't provide or support install discs. The source is public, and people will make their own Chrome OS spins with installable LiveCDs and such.

matthewbauer · 2009-11-20 01:26:19

But will Arch be able to make use of features of Chrome OS eventually? For instance the WM?

Also when you say "Flash" you mean flash memory, not Adobe Flash?

japetto · 2009-11-20 01:27:51

Hopefully this will have a positive affect on Linux in general, but I'm certainly not a fan of cloud computing or Google's privacy policies.

Yes, Flash memory, that's what is means. Chrome OS has no proprietary software as I can see.

skottish · 2009-11-20 03:32:21

Let's not turn this thread into yet another Google vs. privacy thread. flamelab created a PKGBUILD and is offering support for those that want to try it. While I have no interest in the technology, I think it's cool that flamelab has got this rolling.

does anyone know about debootstrap package in achlinux?
i got stuck in :

markc · 2009-11-20 16:01:12

<opinion> Folks who don't like the idea of google keeping your private data can just use Chrome on their normal OS and lose no sweat. However, using Chrome OS and keeping a significant snapshot of the current state of the OS on the google cloud has a very practical benefit that "normal" OS users do not have access to and can't yet appreciate, and that is when you go to another machine, or buy a new one, almost the entire previous state of whatever you were doing gets downloaded to the new device. I don't know about some of you guys but I am absolutely sick of re-setting up my entire online life every time I move to a new system or re-install yet another OS. I'm happy to let google catalog my online settings if they are prepared to offer me the facility of automatically updating any extra other COS enabled computer I may use in the future. What I don't want them to know about won't be on a netbook that I could easily lose or get stolen anyway.

You need to install reprepro (bump the version, the one on AUR is out-of-date) and debootstrap from AUR and run this

./make_chroot.sh --mirror=http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/packages --suite=chromeos_dev

I second this sentiment.

This too. I wonder what guarantees to privacy they will make for this.

Obi-Lan · 2009-11-20 20:03:52

I wonder if usb mass storage could be still used..

eagleton · 2009-11-20 20:08:08

Looks like it's the opposite of Gentoo - you have zero control over your OS (not even write access when you are root), it's updated automatically and you cannot install anything - if you trust Google and their security models, fine, if not, just forget it.

Btw, has there ever been a successful attempt to break into Google?
