Geeking out with Chromium OS
I seriously need to start attempting to code with it. But I think it's pretty sweet. I hope they figure out what the bug is with my wifi card. It takes 5+ min to connect to the network after I start up my computer. And since it's not end-user ready at all, there are not a lot of panel options. But for my netbook, it's working nicely so far.
Oh and the fact that my 4g dongle doesn't work with it *yet*. I can't use it when I'm out and about which makes me a sad, Melody!
Google Chrome OS is pretty cool, if you have a constant, reliable connection to the internet. From what I've heard, it's a cloud-computing-based style of OS. It seems like a good idea, security & access-wise - unless you can't get to the internet, of which it can be a problem.
The Chrome OS is actually geared towards netbooks & smaller devices due to their size and limited storage capacity. Although I'm not a huge fan, I like the fact that Google's giving windows a run for its money (and may dam the tide of netbooks being converted from XP to windows 7 starter edition).
What kind of wi-fi card do you have? Is your computer a desktop or a notebook?
Nice - I dual boot my laptop (Windows 7 & Ubuntu 9.10) and run EEEbuntu 3.0 on my Asus EeePC 900.
What brand/model of netbook do you have?
I haven't tried Chromium on my netbook yet, but I haven't had any trouble with the wireless network card on it in EEEbuntu. The latest version of EEEbuntu's coming out by early february.
Cool, cool.
I love this section of the forum. It's so refreshing to browse around and feel free to embrace my inner geek.
Melody, I had this crazy thought run through my head as I was reading your post. It dawned on me that if you were to travel back in time and repeat that sentence to "the wrong" person, what do you suppose would happen? *accusations of being possessed, lunacy, witchcraft?
The way your gEeK sPeEcH flowed so perfectly, I couldn't help but wonder what people from times past would think if they had known even a fraction of what the future would be like?
