[LinuxUsers] Google Chrome OS?

[Dino K]

Chrome OS currently is based off of Ubuntu karmic (development branch)

according to the cat /etc/issue in this build, but that doesn't mean that
google is actually using ubuntu, it means whoever packaged and built it is
using ubuntu as a base, thus the nature of the beast, it can be built using
a "platform" OS.

For those of you running Chrome OS, CRTL-ALT-T opens a terminal, found that
out in their blog.
