Thought I might have a play with ChromeOS on my Mac.
Although I have Parallels, It led me to VirtualBox, so thought I would try
that.
Downloaded VirtualBox, easy enough.

Installed reasonably.
Downloaded the ChromeOS build from http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/
Had to untar (double click) to get the image.
I thought this was going to be a description of how to do it, but I ran out
of time trying to make it notice the CD to boot off, and have stopped :-)
In the end I just downloaded the Parallels image :-)

Seems to work alright.
Also, any reports on actually using VirtualBox for other things?
