So after playing around with the Cr-48 for the better part of a month, I'm really enjoying it. I finally bit the bullet and flipped that "Dev" switch by the battery and so far I think it's making me like the Cr-48 better. I'm a geek so I like to have a good CLI at my disposal and the Dev mode makes that possible. I can now get root access basically and do all kinds of fun stuff. I have decided though that I will use some restraint and not flash my BIOS or install other OSes... yet. When Google is done with the pilot program, I plan on flashing the BIOS with Hexxeh's magical script Luigi (http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117655) and then trying out everything from Ubuntu to Windows 7 to OSX on it. Of course, I will document my experiences here so you know how all that goes but not until I have fulfilled my obligations to Google. Ultimately, I think I will come back to ChromeOS though as I really enjoy the "living in the cloud" idea with this. It really does pull things back in when you start over on it, that's very nice. It's also nice to know that if I go to any other PC and log into Chrome with my gmail account, all my stuff will follow me there as well. So for now at least, I will use restraint.
