As I wrote last Friday, Google released it’s Chrome OS to the Open Source Community. The idea is that from that day, developers are invited to ‘chip-in’ with their innovative ideas, to build and to create what it will become the Chromium OS which will be release to the public at the same time next year.
If you are happened to be a talented developer with lots of idea, you can join Chromium.org and start developing.
But if you are just want to see it running, fret not, because apparently some nice and brave people had managed to build a working version, so that we could also enjoy it.
Most of the solutions out there are requiring us to download a ready-made package of the OS, and install it through a Virtual Machine, which is available for all platforms, including Windows, Mac and Linux. There is also another way that enables you to install and run the OS in a USB Disk (which I must admit very geeky and cool).
Here are the resources where you can the step-by-step written instructions, or if you are a visual person, you can watch also the How-To Video. Enjoy!
