The major problem: This really only works if you’re connected to the Internet. Using this I can most likely get work done on a day-to-day basis. Within that I split it into two vertical panes which gives me both a text editor and an IRC view (where I spend a vast majority of my day). In the terminal I have an SSH connection to my server where I run screen. Right now I have my primary browser and my secondary terminal. It seems as if there use to be some ways to boot into a different mode and get at the underlying Linux distro – but that all seems to be disabled on the Cr-48. There does not appear to be any way to get a useful shell (sh, bash, tcsh – whatever).

There is no way to provide an SSH key, for example (meaning that I actually had to set up an account on one of my servers with a password – which is quite lame). The only truly useful command is ‘ssh’ and even then it’s painfully limited. The terminal provided by Chrome OS is very very limited. What I’m doing now is opening a separate terminal view (Ctrl+Alt+T) and SSH-ing to a server where I can develop. This puts a major damper on my ability to work offline.

Right now there doesn’t appear to be any good code editors (or file system access, for that matter). Thankfully it’s easy enough to test JavaScript in Chrome OS – but development is another matter entirely. Virtually all of my development is JavaScript-centric (and against Git repos). The OS doesn’t appear to allow right-clicking so in order to make them pinned I had to add the Gmail and Calendar apps, tweak their options to only open pinned, and then re-open them. Typically I have two pinned tabs in my browser: Gmail and Google Calendar.

I had to install the PasswordMaker extension as I use it to manage all my passwords (thankfully one exists for Chrome, otherwise this laptop would be completely unusable to me). I’ve played with Chrome extensively before now so there wasn’t anything that was too surprising.

Chrome OS (as I’m sure you’re aware) is roughly just enough operating system to get a copy of Chrome running. I’ve seem to have settled upon a workflow that can work for me – to some limited extent. (Note: There doesn’t appear to be a way to take screenshots of the Chrome OS UI – making this post a bit less interesting.) My Workflow Surprisingly the laptop arrived this morning and I’ve been having fun putting it through its paces. In the request form I made it very clear that I would be attempting to use this laptop for development (easily my primary activity). The other day I saw the announcement for the new Chrome OS test laptop and decided to sign up on the off-chance that I might be able to snag one.
