Chromebooks and Chrome OS: ChrUbuntu 12.04. Now with double the bits!

Claims performance improvements, any try it to verify? And yes, I've read the comments, none of them touch upon it.

bump..........

So far as I can determine, ChrUbuntu is a pretty staight 12.04 distribution, rocking the 64-bit 3.8x kernel. I use it with the very small footprint razor-qt interface, and it is pretty damn speedy for a $200 machine.

$200 machine? Secondhand purchase, I assume?

Anyway, since making this post I've installed ChrUbuntu 12.04, and not only did I not see any performance increases, but it's actually slower than vanilla Ubuntu 11.04, even with Unity 2D. So I'm not impressed at all, and I am considering figuring out a way to go back to 11.04.

No, without a Windows tax, this little laptop actually costs $200.
