Hi Ed..

"Cr OS Linux (pronounced like Cros Linux) is the free OS
built around the revolutionary Chromium browser - a
foundation for Google Chrome. We call it the chrome plated
OS, because it is stable and shiny."

I'm grabbing a copy (via torrent) to check it out.

I just tried it.

It is nothing but OpenSUSE with an added Chromium browser. The desktop
is branded with a familiar Google Chrome logo. At bootup, it launches
the Chromium browser prepopulated with familiar google products.

I do NOT think this will help in your preparedness for learning about a Chromebook.

The OpenSUSE build is 12.2 (from around 2012?) ..I had trouble
accessing some updates to install specific "action" games. Even so,
those games would likely only be designed around linux OpenSUSE anyway.

For an up to date experience with OpenSUSE, it would be best to grab
the latest version and play with that in Live CD mode if you want. But the environment is NOT anything like a Chromebook.

What other Windows echo do you mean? WIN95?

Glad to have been of assistance.

How did the play with CHROME OS go? Was it anything like you
expected? Are you using it as a solution on any particular PC?

I have played with demo Chromebooks in stores.
After a couple times using them as Guest and not seeing all that was
available on the Chromebook I created an account with a FAKE name and
a Gmail account I never would need again and didn't see anything that
excited me, so I forgot about wanting one.

What I've read so far looks like the Chromebook seems to be a "Cloud"
computer that NEEDS a internet connection to a Server where MY Files
are stored.

The files I would create on it wouldn't be kept locally, so I'm
UNenthused about trying/buying a Chromebook now.

If I want to share a File with somebody else, I can do that.
If the File is too large to attach to a Email I can make a CD and
send it by mail.

I'm not that cheap - even though my Family tree goes back to a Lady
from Scotland who married a Irishman here in the United States Of
America.

Thanks to You and All the Others Who posted Replies to Me about the
Chromebook.

I LOVE BBSing!
