Chromium OS by Hexxeh

I have gotten hold of an Eee PC 1000 recently which I installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala on.  I am very happy with Ubuntu 9.10 as an OS for the Eee PC.  That being said I am getting ready to install another OS on this little machine.  Since I do not need the Eee PC as a production machine I am free to try out anything that looks interesting.  With Hexxeh's latest release of Flow enough has been done to interest me in his build of ChromiumOS.  Following his instructions I downloaded and installed Flow on an 2G USB stick.  The Eee PC 1000 booted Flow with no problems but I could not get the wireless to work until I plugged in the ethernet cable.  Wireless not works fine.  I plan to follow the instructions on dual booting and report how it went.  If you are interested in giving Flow a try check out http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ for downloads and instructions.
