If Microsoft Loved Open Source, Who Would It Buy?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 4th of February 2009 04:26:31 AM Filed under

Upgrading an existing Ubuntu : the kill-your-desktop machine
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wednesday 4th of February 2009 01:28:55 AM Filed under

The installation prompt notes the fact that the Terminal app can be used to develop on your Chromebook. It also suggests that users will be able to run native apps and command-line tools seamlessly and securely. Considering the fact that Chrome OS is powered by the Linux kernel, this can only mean one thing.
