Chromium OS rebuilt, adds ION support, automatic updates and more

While the actual release of Google’s Chrome OS will likely coincide with their own GoogleBook launch, one intrepid dev rebuilt the current version of Chromium, the beta version of the OS.

Hexxeh baked in a lot of new features in this new build which they’ve dubbed “Flow”. If you want to grab the installer, you can download Flow but first, check the netbook compatibility list if your own unit is supported. A few of the features are user-customizable menus, NVIDIA ION support, Velocity-based updating and battery life improvements.

Google Chrome OS is a browser-based operating system which focuses on using apps from the cloud like Gmail and Google Docs. It’s built on top of Linux and will be available later this year for the low, low price of free (we hope, it’s from Google after all).
