Hexxeh Releases Chrome OS Vanilla – Straight From Chromium

Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News, Tips

In a blog post last night, Hexxeh announced his release of a new version of his Chrome OS builds called Vanilla. Instead of creating one of his own and auto-updating it, however, he has decided to take builds from the nightly release of Chromium. This simplifies the task of building it yourself – which requires a 64 bit machine to do.

It makes sense for Hexxeh to start offering Chromium as Chrome OS Vanilla. I had been starting to think that separate builds from the UK student were becoming unnecessary since Chrome OS is so close to a release. Now one can easily get a copy for USB booting.

Take note: not all of these builds are going to work, but as they are tested by large numbers of people there will be feedback on those that build and those that do not.

Anyways here is a link to the downloads, and have fun. We’ll be taking a closer look at the build as soon as well polish up this post.

Here is how you boot a USB drive with Chrome OS.

Hey Hexxeh, where’s that touchscreen enabled version of Chrome OS you showed off last month?
