    I used this guide to try out Chromium on an X200s:
    http://lifehacker.com/5416968/the-humans-guide-to-running-google-chrome-os

    Just FYI that it works fine (I used the bootable USB drive method), and the Hexxeh img includes drivers for the Intel 5000 series wifi (like the 5100 in my system). I'd expect similar results on most Thinkpads.

    Lots of catches considering it's a development build, to the point of not being really usable (no audio, flash hangs/crashes, native resolution for my LCD isn't used). But the trackpoint works, Fn-Home/End brightness keys work etc.

    I'm posting using it now. Ok back to reality...
