Early Chrome OS Build Available For Download

October 14th, 2009 Posted in Technology by Bertrand

Google Chrome OS - Browser

Early this morning, we covered a story about Linux user Jonathan Frederickson, who was lucky and swift enough to download an accidentally leaked Chrome OS folder from the Chromium build website just before Google removed it. He was kind enough to share all kinds of screenshots, giving us a first look at an early build of Chrome OS. Now, he’s doing something that might make Google a little bit angry. He’s [nervously] making that early build of Chrome OS available for download to anyone who uses Linux [the build only works with Linux].

Frederickson took the files he downloaded a couple of days ago and has uploaded them into a RapidShare account which is accessible by anyone and everyone.  So, if you’re a Linux user feeling brave enough to play around with an unstable version of Google’s Chrome OS, click here, download, and install the files and let us know how it goes for you, or if you discover something new.

    @Shahmoradian:
    No, it’s just an early build of the browser Chrome OS will include.
