FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Install ChromiumOS

1. Get Chromium OS from one of the following places
   1. Download the vanilla build (old but stable): http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/
      1. NOTE: Password is facepunch
   2. Download the nightly build (sync doesn't work): http://download-chromiumos.appspot.com/
      1. NOTE: If you want developer mode, you must change _base_ in the download URL to _test_ as the base image does not have developer tools enabled
      2. NOTE: Password is unknown, instructions for working around this are provided later
      3. NOTE: I could not get syncing working with this build, perhaps due to no API KEYS being provided???
2. NOTE: I could not move past the welcome screen on the 64bit build due to no network being found (32bit worked)
