Perhaps somebody wants to package the Google Chrome browser? I've never tested it before. :shock:

I'm on a Slackware 13, and the slacky.eu package works like a charm, more stable than firefox ;)

Do you want to replace firefox with chrome? Would be an attack to GNU and Mozilla cause every popular distribution has hope in *zilla currently :P

It's still beta, even if I have it running on my eeebox that is a 24/7 machine and it never crashed... :D

Some personal statements:
1. Of course we won't ship Firefox and Chrome on the ISO.
2. I would not care about GNU and Mozilla, because Chrome is open source, too.
3. Chrome IMHO is the first open source browser, that is mature enough to compete with Firefox, even if it is rated beta. Opera is closed source; Midori and Aurora are less stable or are lacking features.
4. As JRD has said: it's to early to discuss this
5. Chrome's default privacy settings are not good for a distribution.
