Chrome OS Cherry Released

Posted on 05. Dec, 2009 by Daniel Cawrey in News

The image master extrordinaire Hexxeh has release a new version of his Diet Chrome build, called Chrome OS Cherry. According to his site, the new version is updated with bug fixes as well as wireless support for Broadcom and Ralink devices. We’ve heard that Hexxeh’s builds are solid, and that wireless support is running smooth on this version.

What’s so great about this version of Chrome OS? Well, it’s USB loaded, which means you can boot your PC from a USB drive, and then you shut down Chrome whenever you want to return back to your normal OS. You’ll need to be able to change you boot settings to load the USB in your BIOS, however.

You can get the build as a torrent here. You’ll need to extract the image and use a program to write the image to a USB device. Note that writing to the USB drive will erase anything that was stored there. Once, you get past that, start up your PC with the USB drive. The username and password to get into the operating system is facepunch/facepunch.

Enjoy!
