While Google’s Chrome OS is going to hit the streets until the end of the ties year a Chrome Fanboy, Hexxeh, has taken the the open source Chromium OS. Hexxeh, has been providing popular builds of Chromium OS and his latest release, Flow, adds a whole heap of improvements.
Flow’s Nvidia graphics support gives users a Linux-based operating system on their ION netbooks which will provide accelerated playback of HD videos (including YouTube). Among the new features also added the ability to completely change the menus of the surface as desired, and create new entries. In addition, an automatic update system has been integrated, which keeps the bundled applications always up to date. Also new is support for Realtek RTL8187SE wireless chip that is found in many laptops. There are also some bug fixes, remove the audio and Flash playback, as well as problems with the battery status indicator and the handling of bookmarks.
