Geek humor strikes again

Was lured away by the Chromium OS (which is open source) and made a live USB of the Flow build by Hexeeh. Installed it on Ivy on the off chance the network card is an incompatibility issue after all (hope springs eternal). The live trial is very shiny, the internet works (!?) and now at the end of the terminal for the os install I came across the message that:


Thsi filesystem will be automatically checked every 23 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Installation complete. Please shutdown, remove the USB device, cross your fingers, and reboot.


Now rebooting...

Loaded fine. Very snappy. I'm impressed. Network setup is a snap. Having everything be browser based is definitely strange but the organization is surprisingly intuitive. Internet continues to work. I'm out of time to play around tonight (alas, the list of things to do never ends), but I'll keep you guys updated as I play around with it. Cr has its own applets and programs. I'll post screenshots as soon as I figure out which ones is the image editing prgram.

Oooh, I would love to see this. My love for Chrome the browser is pretty intense.
