I installed Chromium on my Ubuntu box the other day. It is missing many features (plugins, bookmarks weren't working right, options missing, etc), as I expected from an alpha build.

It looks pretty good so far, though:

- It's really fast (compared to Firefox and Konqueror - yes I use KUbuntu)

- The UI looks similar to the Chrome on Windows (which I really like), except that it has an extra title bar.

- It didn't crash as I spent a few hours using it instead of firefox.

- It was really, really easy to install: Simply add the repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Then:

aptitude update && aptitude install chromium-browser

Can't wait till they get plug ins and extensions working... Then I won't miss Firefox at all.
