Chrome on Linux: Rough, fast & promising

[ Thanks to Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for this link. ]

"Here's what I found in my first hours of working with Chrome on Linux.

"I downloaded the developer release 3.0.183.1 on two different Linux systems. One was running MEPIS 8 and the other had Ubuntu 9.04. Both are Debian-based Linux distributions, and I chose them for that since Chrome is currently only available in 32 and 64-bit versions in the DEB format. You can install DEB packages in Linux distributions that use RPM program packaging systems, but I didn't want to introduce any more variables than possible in looking at alpha software."
