GOOGLE

Watched this video on Google. It's rather interesting.

(I wanna go work there, but only in the kitchen!)

ChromeOS - old build but runs



http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ Actually runs on my acer netbook. wifi works, boots fast from usb pendrive.
It has Debian at the core and has apt-get.
I'd appreciate it more if the terminal more consistently opened when I pressed ctrl-alt-t (it only works sometimes) but for what it is, it's quite fast.



http://www.slitaz.org/en/ still has my vote for lightweight installs - but without yum or apt-get it's not too exciting; tazpkg get-install does work, but it feels clunky and second rate.

proxy your browser; ultrasurf




for those of us that don't want to have to setup our own proxy server.


it appears quite painful to packet shape for us administrators. that being said, i want to use it!
