Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Video: Chrome OS login options
Yesterday I shared video of my trusty Gateway LT21 booting my Chromium OS build, and today it's on to step two: the login screen.
Chrome OS will provide three basic options: signing in to an existing Google account (Apps for domains accounts are supported), create a new account, or browse without signing in.
Take the jump to check out the videos of the different login options!

Browse without signing in
Want to jump on an unfamiliar Chrome OS computer? Or maybe you just want to do some Incognito surfing on your own machine -- either way, browse without signing in makes it possible.
Create a new account
If you don't already have a Google account, you'll need a way to set one up on Chrome OS, right? Here's how that works...
Sign in to an existing account
If you've already got a Google account, log in with it and all your sync data will be automatically pulled down to your Chrome OS machine. Because I'm having some sync trouble with my system today, I won't be sharing a video. Picture this: it's the same process as browsing without a login, except, obviously, that you'll need to enter your Google credentials.
Once logged in, Chrome OS will automatically pull down any profile data (bookmarks, theme, etc.) that you've previously synced via Google Chrome.
Stay tuned, I'll have more video and screenshots throughout the week!

No disrespect, but surely on a tech blog you can find some better way of capturing video than through some hand-held cam.
Anyway, it looks pretty nice either way.

Wish i could, but sadly the VM doesn't run right now and there's no way to remote in to the machine....so camera it is for the time being.

where do you get a good ChromiumOS ISO? all the torrents and links i find are VMDK or TAR files that don't want to boot in Virtual Box.

i've tried both the VMWare and USB images from that site and neither boot with Virtual Box. the application will recognize them but says they fail to boot. i've gotten Ubuntu and Mandriva distros to boot from ISO files no problem.

where did you get this Chrome OS build you're working from in the videos? what build vers. # is it? seems like a much later, seemless dev. build than the one i'm working with, that i got from here — http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/
where do i get this build of Chrome OS, or better, and even more current build?
