Since yesterday we have been covering non-stop about the newly announced open source OS from Google (Google Chrome OS). We told you about it being based on Ubuntu, but the latest update is that it’s also based upon the popular debian Linux as well.
Many of our readers are curious how to download the OS itself and how to go about it. While many looking for more insights. So for all of you out there, we present to you videos and download plus installation instructions for the Google Chrome OS.

Download:
The Chrome OS is very light weight, we tried and found it to be only 36 MB of size. You can download the documentation and more stuff from the official site here.
Our goal here is to give you an idea of how to get started.
Note: For all instructions, make sure you download the client into a local directory. Placing the source and compiling on a network partition will drive you nuts.
Note: These build instructions will evolve over time as the build system is improved. Make sure to periodically check back for the latest information.
Prerequisites
You need to have Linux. We currently support the following:
-
Ubuntu (Hardy 8.04 or newer, Karmic 9.10 recommended)
-
An account with root access (needed to run chroot and modify the mount table)
-
Chromium prerequisites (needed to build a Chromium-based browser as part of building Chromium OS)
Get the source
At this stage, you will need to get the Chromium OS source code. Follow the instructions in Getting the Chromium OS Source Code.
Follow the Build Instructions.
This document describes how to build the Chromium OS image. This also includes steps for building the Chromium-based browser for use with Chromium OS.
Note: If you would like to make changes to Chromium OS, you must have used Git to download the source.
Now that you have gotten and built the Chromium OS image, let’s talk about making changes to the Chromium OS code base.
More information
We use Git to manage the Chromium OS repository. To learn about Git, read Git Help.
Here are some tips on installing and using a debugger to help you with debugging programs in Chromium OS.
The Developer FAQ can help you with common development problems.
We hope you install it cleanly.

I love Google Voice. There SMS feature in truth got me into it. I am able to send out free text messages to Bangladesh, India, and USA. It saves me some good money on my texting plan from Verizon Wireless because I can utilize that to send now. I think Google always does a solid job of giving users what they require and need. I have heard in the future they are integrating Voice with the Android. Plus they bought a new VoIP company which they will integrate with the other two to give some excellent features. I need to get myself an Androind now haha.
Instead of telling you it’s only available in the US at the? start of the video it makes you watch the whole way through
