"Cr OS Linux (pronounced like Cros Linux) is the free OS
built around the revolutionary Chromium browser - a
foundation for Google Chrome. We call it the chrome plated
OS, because it is stable and shiny."
I'm grabbing a copy (via torrent) to check it out.
I just tried it.
It is nothing but OpenSUSE with an added Chromium browser. The desktop
is branded with a familiar Google Chrome logo. At bootup, it launches
the Chromium browser prepopulated with familiar google products.
I do NOT think this will help in your preparedness for learning about a Chromebook.
The OpenSUSE build is 12.2 (from around 2012?) ..I had trouble
accessing some updates to install specific "action" games. Even so,
those games would likely only be designed around linux OpenSUSE anyway.
For an up to date experience with OpenSUSE, it would be best to grab
the latest version and play with that in Live CD mode if you want. But the environment is NOT anything like a Chromebook.

What other Windows echo do you mean? WIN95?

Glad to have been of assistance.

How did the play with CHROME OS go? Was it anything like you
expected? Are you using it as a solution on any particular PC?
