[Novalug] Is Google Chrome going to threaten Linux?

[Oscar Merida]

From
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html

"Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are
working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next
year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a
new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel."

So its built on top of the linux kernel ...

How many distros run well on netbooks - this might expand the userbase more
for Linux since it doesn't look like its competing with desktops and laptops
directly.
