I'm currently volunteering at a place that sells old and refurbished computers, and 3 pretty low end machines have just came in that I think ChromeOS would be perfect for.

No that's not the OS, it's just the browser.. sorry but it's not the same at all.

So I downloaded the latest hexxeh build for VirtualBox, and it boots to what appears to be a setup screen but the "Continue" button is grayed out, I suspect because it's not picking up the VirtualBox network adapter.

I have no "real" reason to use ChromeOS, I'm perfectly happy with Ubuntu, I just wanted to play around with it and see what it was all about, thought it'd be cool to be able to educate myself about it a little bit.

Tried the "lime" builds? Apparently they contain more drivers.

Yep I also get that.

The Lime version has no VM VHDDs.

I still can't get the hexxeh build of Chromium OS to connect to my network, due to there being no configuration options.
With that obstacle in the way, I can't set an IP address for it, so I'm unable to use this OS on my home network.

Try as I might, it still refuses to let me put it online ... without online access, this OS is totally useless!

[DJGM]

So much for that! I might as well delete it, seeing as it's completely 1000% useless ... !
