Hexxeh was taken when I registered, sadly. I'm not a fan of the numbers-for-letters bullshit either very much, it was just easy to remember and the most similar thing I could get that still read the same.
Google offer ways to get your data into and out of most of their services, in many cases they make it as easy as possible to migrate away if you wish to do so.
Which I fully intend to do, the only bit I shall not be releasing are the encryption keys used to deliver updates via HTTPS. I'll be adding a public SVN repo soon with all the code I've written for people to criticize and improve upon.
Thanks.:D
I was thinking of doing Computer Science at the University of York if I got accepted, wanted to do Computer Science for as long as I can remember, my sister went there and so I've seen much of the course material and I love it (except the Maths modules, anyway). My passion isn't in commercial ventures at all, that's just the only way I can fund the server, since donations alone don't cover it. Thanks for the advice, anyways!
And maybe to see if I can get noticed by some companies
Well, you are clearly orchestrating the distribution of copyrighted items to millions of internet users, AND the ads on your website are going to bring in a bit of money, so you should be expecting a call by the MPAA/RIAA or similar in a day or so...;)
The Chromium OS code is open-source, what I'm doing is perfectly fine.
I'm putting money from the ads back into paying for the server/bandwidth, more users means more bandwidth for the updates, and bandwidth isn't free.
I do this because I enjoy making/doing something people find useful, not to make a profit.
And maybe to see if I can get noticed by some companies, that too.;)
I don't get who this guy is. He was the source for ChromeOS builds?!? Google dropped it?! How does this guy handle Google's builds?
I don't get it.
ChromeOS Zero - what's so special about it?
These builds take the ChromiumOS source provided by Google, and just improve upon it and deviate slightly from the direction Google is going in. Google is tailoring to a very limited set of devices, but really, there are a lot of people on a very wide range of hardware who would like to use ChromiumOS, and so I'm trying to make it more accessible/usable. I'm also providing updates automatically with the launch of the updater beta, to remove the need for frequent reimages to stay up to date.
Re:chromeOS can't set proxy - without internet!

ChromeOS Zero Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I was testing an earlier ChromeOS build in VMWare and although it worked OK when at home, on a network with proxy went to click the option to configure proxy, it opens up another tab in the browser - "Page cannot be displayed" - the proxy page couldn't be displayed unless I already had an internet connection working, and without setting the proxy I couldn't get an internet connection.
You need to do it via terminal right now sorry since there's no UI in place, edit/usr/bin/chromeos-chrome-login and chromeos-chrome-loop to add the --proxy-server flag to the bottom.
Conversion is broken in Zero, you'll need to download Cherry for that, I'm working on it, but like you said, one man show and I have college too.:/

Thanks for the slashdotting, guys.:D

My sarcasm detector was a tad rusty yesterday, and yeah, they could I suppose, but I doubt it.

your school won't give you any bandwidth? ......
Heh, their server creaks under the load of the students alone. :P
And enjoy the ad revenues, you deserve them!

At this stage (nconsidering it's a one-man show) you still need to roll your own: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/12/04/how-to-convert-hexxehs-chrome-os-build-image-to-a-virtualbox-v/
