What is Chrome OS Cherry? - 1GB image /w Great WiFI Support


First there was Chrome OS  Virtual Machine image. Then there was a 4 Gbyte Bootable USB image. The problem was nobody has a free 4 Gbyte USB stick to get formated for a "bootable browser", most of the people has an older 1 Gbyte USB stick in the closet, but the image doesn't fit. Then there was the Chrome OS Diet, a bootable image that fits in the 1 Gbyte USB stick yohooo! Bad luck, the wireless network card is not always supported. Today there is improvement. The Chrome OS Cherry is also a <1Gbyte bootable USB image, but with broad range of wireless network card support, so your laptop netbook wireless card could be supported by cherry! Want to try it, go to the developer's site HERE. Download the image and follow the Mac or Windows instructions to create the your stick.
