    Hello

    I am running Hexxeh Lime variant of Chromium OS on my Toshiba laptop Portege R700-17x work machine (as my primary OS ). It works very well indeed. I had to switch from a Samsung Chromebook as the CPU was too crap on complicated websites like Evernote (this laptop runs JS benchmarks 5x as fast).

    One problem is that the fileshelf has massively improved on latest ChromeOS dev releases with a proper pdf viewer etc. These improvements have not yet made it. It also needs some manual fiddling to get Google Voice plugin...

    Still, it rules.

    Smile Chrome OS Lime by Hexxeh is quite usable on recent generic hardware

    I have been using Lime by Hexxeh on a USB stick booted from a 1-year old Compaq notebook PC which has a Celeron 900 CPU. Everything works: Wi-Fi, touch pad, mouse, sound, external webcam, Ethernet, etc. It boots to login screen in about 20 seconds.

    I wonder has anyone successfully used HexxeH's Lime on an ASUS eeePC 904HD?
