and what about the "custom firmware" in that case? mmmh... I'm a little concerned - Claudio Cicali

please share if exists - Jacopod

there is an image_to_vmware.sh in src/scripts - that should do the trick [I will check it after dinner :) ] - Marco Fabbri

I'm also interested in this VMWare image.... This could be a great find and resource. - George B

Bret, I haven't tried it, but there you go: http://www.wuala.com/chromeo... - Orlando Pozo

Geez, yet another Linux clone. - Адский Блондин

Just tried that VMware chrome OS image, it is a SUSE Linux distribution with GNOME, GDM is customized with Google Chrome logo, and also Google Chrome browser, that's it for now :S. - Orlando Pozo

Arg! I can confirm, it's a fake (the live cd) :( - Brandon

I thought I was going to get something like http://friendfeed.com/orlando... - Orlando Pozo

Let's see Brandon, I am anxious to test this thing :) - Orlando Pozo

The build is also pretty broken. It is missing a bunch of the Google packages like google-gflags. I am almost done with a build - we'll see :) - Bret Taylor

Nice Bret, post it when you can. - Orlando Pozo

So the consensus is that the VMX image is indeed a fake correct? - George B

Yes, this is fake http://getchrome.eu/downloa... - Orlando Pozo

Looking forward to it too - Charlie Anzman

Techcrunch has a confirmed iso and has posted a tutorial: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Brandon

Brandon, that worked out the box. VMWare doesn't recognize the NIC, use VirtualBox instead. - Orlando Pozo

Virtualbox doesn't support OpenGL (Xgl), so you won't see effects like this http://www.youtube.com/watch... :( - Orlando Pozo

I built it earlier, check it out at: http://gdgt.com/google... And we just released a VirtualBox and Bootable USB image (not mentioned in that TC article). - Jon Ursenbach

Christopher's gdgt link looks good to me. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Run Chrome. Go to your gmail. Open second tab for your contacts. Open third tab for your calendar. Now you are running Chrome OS. ; > - Cole Jolley

Why oh why do I have to register (gdgt.com) to download the image? - Özkan Altuner

here it is: http://www.easy-share.com/347XXXX... This should work as you can see in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch... (it's in italian but you will get the point!) - Alessandro

you can get one at http://www.gdgt.com. Just search for Chrome OS - Chieze Okoye

I tried it but I had to install vmware workstation to work it out. I am not able to get the native resolution. It is stuck at 800x600. - Ashish
