If you’re interested in getting to know Google Chrome OS, Google’s latest development in re-creating how we use computers, the videos after the jump are a great start. The funny thing about Google Chrome OS is that it’s ambitious in what it’s trying to do but relatively tame in its execution. The idea of Google Chrome OS centers around creating a browser as the Operating System, which makes some sense for a lot of users. Since what we do on a computer is often just access the internet through the browser already, the extra weight and fluff of an OS doesn’t apply as much anymore.

So Google Chrome OS is basically a browser. Your applications are fueled by either pre-existing web apps like Gmail, Google Docs, etc. or forthcoming ones that’ll be developed according to web standards but more powerful (has access similar to what native apps have in other OS’s). It looks pretty much exactly like what the browser Chrome looks like just with a few more tabs. It also supports little things to extend usability like ‘virtual desktops’, the ability to place smaller windows of apps on top of everything, and running different processes for each tab, so it’s a bit more powerful than your run of the mill browser.

So what kind of hardware will Chrome OS run on? And how does it relate to Android? Hit the jump!

Continuing with the sysadmin tasks, now i will tell you about one of my latest experiences, migrate a running ISPconfig from one server to another one.

First, we must clear some restrictions:

  • The old and new version of ISPconfig is strongly recommended that they be the same
  • It is recommended that both servers have the same type of Linux distribution
  • Don’t interrupt the old server service or the acces to it
  • We need ssh access to both servers

Well, let’s go.
