So. The latest version of Chromium.
Is pretty cool.
Featuring all the great stuff, Chrome :P And WiFi.
I’m running yesterday’s version of Lime, and it’s incredibly fast. Boot time is fairly slow, but all the same, it’s still awesome.
I just need to find a suitable theme for Chrome. Any suggestions?
So this is my latest endeavour. No, not the Starship Enterprise. The Chromebook. Well. The VaioBook. ChromeVaio. I’m working on a name. Right now, Chromebook is a pretty cool name!
So how did it work?
Installed Chromium OS off a USB drive. It’s a fairly old version of Chromium. I think the image is from April 2011. I’m waiting on a decent network connection (*cough*UNI*cough*) before I get hold of a newer image. Or I may just leave my laptop on overnight. Sorry environment.
But it’s awesome. Besides the lack of coding. Which I’m working on ;)
And email. All done through iCloud.com and Google Mail. Google Docs for Uni (been using it anyways). SSH for IRC. All in all, can’t complain!
Instant on? Pretty much. The hard drive takes a couple of seconds to fire up. But it is pretty much “instant on”.
So. I love my Chromebook. It’s actually really cool :D And I think I’ve just pushed myself enough to download the latest version of Hexxeh’s Lime. Just ‘cause I’d really appreciate the wireless drivers. Although saying that, I’m not even sure which wireless card is in this toplap! Time to do some research.
Ciao!
