Oh my god?

It's just a Linux with a browser instead of a shell, nothing too fancy :) There is a 64 bit kernel floating around but I haven't tried installing that yet.

There's something weird about the hardware specialization with chromeos though. About fall 2010 I accidentally my whole win 7 notebook and installed a copy of chromeos onto the harddrive before switching to arch Linux. Twas terribly slow and unresponsive, but this may have just been because of it still being a sec build not designed for a dualcore lenovo box.

Happy to report CR-48 is much more stable and fast with latest daily images.

I use Emacs. I've had my session running for so long I can't even remember what my underlying OS is.

Yeah, I'd use Emacs too, if it only had a good editor...

It's okay, it's emacs, you can use it to build a good editor if you want to...
