First Netbook with Chrome OS will be the Longsoon

Posted in: Netbook, software

Words on the streets of China are so strong indicating that Google’s much awaited Chrome OS could be sold together with Chinese-designed CPU under the Longsoon brand. The Longsoon 2F processor was initially designed to work with Linux Software and since the Google Chrome OS is basically an OS on top of a Linux platform, this might seem a pretty logical possibility.

Google Chrome OS fits rightly into the Loongson 2F processor which works best with MIPS based processor and ARM Chip mostly used in smartbooks.

Further reports indicate that there have been substantial orders for the Longsoon CPU which will be used for 7 to 9 inch netbooks.

    I have the google chrome os (beta) on my eee pc 900 right know it works really really well if any of you want to try it here is a download link: http://sites.google.com/site/chromeoslinux/download : The way I installed it was by using a thumb drive with a program called UNetbootin which allowed me to combine a open suse 12.1 boot loader with my google chrome os beta iso and burn the files to the thumb drive so that I can plug it into my eee pc 900 and install chrome os.
