I am running a Chrome OS Build called Flow OS on a USB Pendrive on my Asus EEE PC 900. It is basically just a chrome browser that boots up and any apps are google extensions. Flash,sound,and touchpad, and wire less work out of the box. I went to the builders twitter page and found out he is a 17 year old kid. If interested.

This takes some getting used to as there is no desktop or file manager of any sort that I can see. Ctr+Alt+t brings up a terminal. To get into root. sudo su then password is facepunch. This is a cloud based operating system as far as I can tell. Any files stored would be stored in the google cloud I guess as you file manager. Just did this today before going back to Doctors to schedule another operation for tomorrow, Happy Trails, Rok :cool_smiley:

If you know nothing about Linux, take some time to get familiarized with these courses.
