If you’re in possession of a Raspberry Pi, you may want to check out the new Chromium support (https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#change,22836) for your tiny pocketable computer. With its terrifically minimal hardware requirements, the Chromium OS seems like just the thing for this $35 computer.
The new Raspberry Pi supported Chromium build comes from the fruitful desktop of [Hexxeh], a.k.a. [Liam McLaughlin]. In the world of Chromium devs, [Hexxeh] has already made a name for himself by getting Chromium working on a Macbook Air (http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117760), putting it in a VirtualBox (http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117684), and generally being the resident wizard (http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117837) of the Chromium project
The Chromium OS should provide a much faster computing experience for the Raspi compared to the current Debian and Arch Linux-based builds. Right now, the Chromium support for the Raspberry Pi is very much a work in progress but a slimmed-down, browser-only operating system may be just what the underpowered but useful 700 MHz ARM computer with 256 MB of RAM needs.
