imagesCan’t wait anymore to get the ultimate Google product, the Chrome OS, on your PC? Wait no more. Built from SUSE Studios, the Chrome OS Linux basically is a light install of SUSE Linux containing the latest developer build of Chrome for Linux. Although not the official launch from Google, the unofficial Chrome OS Linux project aims at giving users a feel of what they can expect once Chrome OS is released.

The OS can be installed to your hard-drive like any other OS or you can run it inside Virtual Box or VMware.
