Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Google Linux OS

My mistake. Thanks for the link which is newer than the one I had. I suspect
that it is like they did with the browser with ChromiumOS standing in until
ChromeOS makes its début. I will check it out. My information about Chrome
and ChromeOS is accurate, but so was the ChromiumOS as it turns out.
Apologies if I misled anyone.
