Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Hexxeh's Chromium OS Zero learns to auto-update
The updater is currently in open beta, and installing it requires a little bit of tinkering via terminal (ctrl + alt + t starts a terminal session on Chromium OS). Follow Hexxeh's instructions, reboot your system or VM, and watch the magic! If you're not totally up-to-date, you'll see a window like the one above.
One of the most welcome fixes is listed at update 2: no more Broadcom delay. If you've been testing Chromium OS on a netbook or laptop running one of their wireless adapters, this is fantastic news!
One note: for the final step of the process, Hexxeh's instructions say to type reboot [enter] in terminal. That didn't work for me -- but sudo reboot did.
Hexxeh's Chromium OS build is one of my favorite independent projects so far this year, and it just keeps getting better. If you've used it, share your thoughts in the comments!

hey, WiFi works on my Dell Mini 10v now =D
I had to plug into a wired connection to update and there's no progress indicator, but eventually it said Update Complete. I rebooted twice, and ^_^
Battery Indicator, WiFi, and even the 3G card (not installed) are registering. Still no sound though, I think it's a Chromium Zero bug though...

The latest instructions on the Updater beta page worked fine for me too :)
Haven't tested for sound yet though.. looking forward to the February 12th news..?
