Since the announcement of Chrome OS and the release of Chromium OS source code, one notable young developer has served us the most popular Chromium OS distro thus far. Hexxeh, who is just finishing off his A levels in the UK has released a newer version of his Chromium OS. This is an update to the previous ChromiumOS Cherry build.

The major improvement in this new build of Chrome OS over the previous builds is that it supports most of the WiFi chipsets. This new build also has a slight improvement in speed and a new boot time splash screen.

If you would like to download this new release, here are some instructions that will help. If you have any problems, feel free to visit the forums for help and support:
