Some good news for testers who have received Google's Cr-48 Chrome OS laptop: you can load Ubuntu on it.

The Chromium Projects website has posted instructions on how to load Ubuntu on the laptop. It's highly complicated, so it's perhaps an afternoon project only for technically skilled. After achieved, the laptop can dual boot into Chrome and Ubuntu.

It was only a matter of time before another OS was loaded on the laptop. As we speak, someone may be trying to figure out how to load Windows on the laptop.

Why? Partly because some users are not impressed with Chrome OS. Essentially they have a laptop with a terrible Linux distro, so the next best thing is loading another distro.
