11-26-2009, 03:41 PM
The guys of the Dell Linux division have wowed the community by building and releasing their own revision of Chromium OS tailored for the Dell Mini 10v. After seeing Engadget running Chrome OS on a Vostro system, they tried fiddling with the build themselves to get it up and running on a Dell Mini 10v and succeeded. The Chrome OS build for the Dell Mini 10v can be downloaded here. The image itself is a hefty 7.5GB, so you'll need to download it and put it on a USB stick of at least 8GB. Quote:
Although the image was purposely built for the 10v, chances are it should work fine with the Mini 9 as the hardware is practically the same - do gives us feedback if it works for you. This is certainly one of the most interesting things a manufacturer has done so far, really embracing upcoming software, possibly even indicating a Dell Mini Chromium in the future? Don't look too much into it! [via Liliputing] | |

Thanks for the link. Looks like the "official" announcement is here. A compressed image would save alot of bandwidth. (Since it's so informal, I wonder if the free space on the drive image has deleted files from his flash drive  )Mini 1012 | SSD | Intel 6200 Wifi | Ubuntu 11.10 64bit |

Anyone have a torrent of this? The direct link is breathtakingly slow at 200KB/s. |
