Video: Could Chrome OS Plus Ubuntu be the Dual Boot Solution?

Posted on 09. Jun, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Videos

Just came across this video showing Chrome OS and then a quick boot to Ubuntu. This makes me wonder whether using Chrome OS and Ubuntu as a dual boot solution would help to ease those fears about going completely into a cloud environment:

One thing noticeable is that there was no login at the boot as if this build was somehow packaged without it. For more information, head on over to http://www.chromium.jp as it looks like a build made from this version will be available from there.

    The way that I watched that video, it was just a quick-booting version of Ubuntu, made to auto-run Chrome at startup. There are none of the ChromeOS options that are specific to the OS, and that would remove the need for the ChromeOS login screen. Just my 2 cents.

    I’m going to possibly get an invite to beta test, looking forward to checking it out.
