Chrome OS, la distribución Linux de Google, ya está disponible en versión de pruebas. Se trata en realidad de un OpenSuse minimalista (por lo que veo por los blogs no soy el único que pensaba que iba a estar basada en Ubuntu) con la última versión de Chrome (sí Chrome y no Chromium), Flash instalado por defecto y OpenOffice 3.0.Descargas:

Chrome OS is just another rebranded Linux GUI, it would be much better if Google came up with an OS that would directly compete with Windows.

I have installed Chrome OS on one of my netbooks and the performance of Chrome OS is just okay. there is nothing fancy or very special about it. It was just a sort of GUI version of linux or something.
