Dell snuggles up to Google Chrome OS, offers customized download for its Mini 10V
In a display of surprising tenacity, Dell have gone ahead and distributed a customized version of Chrome OS for the Dell Mini 10V! Lilputing are reporting that all the necessary hardware support has been added, so in theory you could just whack the Chrome OS image onto a memory stick and boot it up right now!
Mind you, the image is 8GB so this is probably only of interest to enthusiasts -- but hey, it's nice to see a company like Dell catering towards that demographic for once, eh?
You'll need to follow the instructions on the Lilputing article to get the image mounted and ready to go, but it seems simple enough! You could be playing with Chrome OS this afternoon, while nibbling away on cold-turkey sandwiches...

I can't tell if you're being sardonic or not... as that's what Chrome OS is really... :P

"...that demographic"? Please, elaborate further on this subject!
And also, Dell has been known to sell this little thing called Ubuntu Linux.

Dell doesn't "sell" Ubuntu Linux. They do package with the Mini's as a free alternative to Windows, but to sell Ubuntu Linux would be illegal.
