Having attempted installing gOS 3.x I was whelmed of the under variety. The
plus side the new Chrome OS is that it's a big name going up against M$
netbook market share.

I've found if I try to install a narrow boutique OS I end up installing all
my favourite tools and finding I might as well have gone for a full featured
distro.

Speaking of which I'm running Fedora 11 ATM. Still love Fed/RH
system-config-* admin utilities over Debian a2mod, update-rc.d, etc etc.
Absolutely love the palimpset disk S.M.A.R.T utility (I think it's spelt
like that). And Fedora seems to have gotten the network manager PPTP client
right.
