My techie pen0r just got a bit pudgy when I first encountared this artical.
But a browsar based OS without an ad blockar? Nevar.

Warning to all you Linux geeks, I'll bet Chrome OS doesn't evan HAVE a
command line. Dear me, what will you do?

You can run it VMware if you want. There is a guy who even has made
the VMware Image for it.

That would surely be a worthy project, but I'm not sure I really like
the idea of bolting a shell on someone else's operating system. You
can look at it like this: Google broke their OS on the drawing board
if it doesn't have a shell, so they should be the ones to fix it.
However, they may have no obligation to put a shell in their product
if their target market doesn't want one. So, all you people who might
want command-line access in Chrome should get on your email clients
and notify Google of your wishes. I'd suggest emailing the president
of the company on this matter, so get out there and drill down for the
pertinent infos.


Regards,

Steve
