Install Google Chrome on Linux (and why you should)

google-chrome-browserSo the developers of Google Chrome have released a “developer only” version of Chrome saying you should NOT install it unless you are a developer. They warn you short of saying that the developer release of Google Chrome will ruin your love life, steal your cash, and flirt with your mother. With this warning I assume most people shy away from installing on Linux.

I ignored the warning. I’m glad I did.

I’m wanting to install a Ubuntu virtual box on my WindowsXP Pro. I know Ubuntu is free but what virtualization software would you recommend that is free? Are there any tips you would give me? Do you know of a good how-to website? Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
