USB bootable of Chromium OS
I have a Acer Aspire One AOA 150 with Windows Xp Home. I want to try and dual boot it with Google Chrome OS. But before that I would like to try it by booting from a USB? Where i can find instructions for doing so ? I also want to know user experiences of AOA 150 users after trying Google Chrome out .

I built it myself from sources, using their instructions. Not too difficult, but a lot of steps.
You need to have the Atheros wireless, and not Broadcom. There's a sticker on the bottom of the case.
Unfortunately, it's not fast enough to play Hulu video without skipping, which plays fine with Windows. This is apparently a generic Flash-on-Linux issue; it didn't work with Ubuntu Netbook Remix either.
I appreciate what Google is trying to do. But when they finally release the official Chrome OS at the end of the year, I suppose the hardware will definitely be better, and offer a better overall experience. People will try to take the open source Chromium OS code and shoe-horn it into other boxes, but it will not be good enough.
