<div>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.</div>

<div>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.</div>

<div>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. </div>
