[LinuxUsers] Fwd: It's finally here: Google Chrome for LINUX

[Peter Manis]

I already moved to Chrome full time a while back, Chrome on Linux is really
really good and there are very few things I prefer using Firefox for
anymore.  Most of those are just plugins.  With an SSD and Ubuntu 9.04
Chrome starts fast enough that by the time I move my mouse to where the
address bar will appear its already there.
