Actually sounds pretty cool. My only skepticism is that it's Google. It seems to much like a pure web based OS. Probably great for netbooks though. It will be interesting to see it in action.

I wonder if it's anything like gOS; that's what my[former] Everex laptop came with.
What drivers were you trying to install? How long ago was it?
i was trying to install nvidia drivers. i was doing it mid august.
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
sudo sh Nvidia-192.0.1.sh <or whatever your driver package is called, use tab to auto complete>
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

The linux kernel is one thing.
A distribution is something else.
The Chrome OS distribution will likely be very little like any distribution you have used before.
Never heard of gOS before ... looks ... weird/cool?
That good?
yeah, there is definitely a learning curve but the Android 2.0 OS is unlike anything I thought possible on a phone. Shames the iPhone. Amazing.
The Andoird app manager is comparable to the same thing in Linux but there are no intedependencies to worry about. Everything is customizable and runs silky smooth. It even has a task manager. I'm totally digging it and could see it easily be made to run on a netbook.
oh and on Ballmer: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/05/chair_chucking/
Windows requires you to click through a bunch of dialog boxes to install drivers. May be simpler for the uninitiated, but not nearly as efficient.
And what's the status of the article your writing about android 2.0 for overclockers.com?
So should i put that down on the content editors status page Fudge?
