Hi :) I am fairly certain that apps can be installed outside of the web-browser. I think the standard install of Chrome even includes some standard apps this way (shhh ;) ). I'm not sure what they use as a package manager tho. Perhaps it might be worth asking at DistroWatch (in their reader's weekly thread)? http://distrowatch.com

There seems to be a movement to make Google's Linux Chromebook a type of OS that can be used instead of Windows or "normal" Linux distros, or at least that is what I think they are planning. So if Google is planning to have a "Windows Killer" OS in a desktop or laptop computer, you must be able to add your own package for things that Google has not bought yet: GIMP, Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Inkscape, K3b, VLC, Jablum, Filezilla, XSane, DeVeDe, printers, plus all the other packages and devices I use almost daily. Google must be able to have you install these types of packages and devices, or it will not be able to function as a complete laptop or desktop computer. > *John Shabanowitz > http://libodocs.wordpress.com > We're recruiting, come join us.* > On Thu, May 12, 2011 at 8:39 AM, webmaster for Kracked Press Productions< > [email protected]> wrote: > >> The following article's title got me thinking.
