In case you haven’t heard, the area got hit with a bunch of snow overnight and throughout the day. I had nearly a foot at my office at one point, but it’s down a few inches now (still a nasty mess outside). Took me nearly an hour to get to the office this morning. I blame the weather system pictured to the right, from the KTVZ radar, that appears to have an evil face in it over the ocean. Evil-Face Storm (which is what I’m sure Bob Shaw would probably call it) is probably responsible for the snow.

The Chrome OS you have linked is not the actual google chrome os it is just someone with a google account who modded a gnome distro with google links
oops linux distro with gnome desktop ^
I’m pretty sure that the links are both valid. The first ChromeOS link is commentary, while the 2nd is a VMWare image, built from the directions here. While I haven’t tried it, where is it documented that it’s a fake?
google’s

Toward the end of October as rumors increased, a download was made available claiming to be an early build of the Chrome OS. This turned out to be a hacked Linux distribution, offered to users as a VMWare appliance.
