Ouch ... I give up now. See again: The Chromium projects include _Chromium_ and Chromium OS, the _open-source projects behind the Google Chrome browser_ and Google Chrome OS, respectively. This site houses the documentation and code related to the Chromium projects and is intended for developers interested in learning about and contributing to the open-source projects. Chromium _Chromium is an open-source browser project_ that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web. This site contains design documents, architecture overviews, testing information, and more to help you learn to build and work with the Chromium source code. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chromium http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chromium https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=chromium If you pay attention to package contents via web interface, you'll see that executable is called "chromium", not "chrome". Of course that Google will advertise its own Browser, but as I said, Chrome is just Chromium with some proprietary stuff, like Google branding, Flash Player and PDF viewer. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
