Ported Google Chrome for Linux and Mac
Whilst still waiting for the officially release of Google Chrome for Mac, with the help of Wine, you can effectively use Google Chrome on your Ubuntu or whatever Linux box, better still you can download a ported version of Google Chrome for Linux, that the hard-working developers at CodeWeaver have made available.
CrossOver Chromium as they call it, has deb packages for 32 and64bit Debian/Ubuntu, and RPM packages for Red Hat, Mandriva and Suse. CrossOver Chromium is also available for Apple Mac OS X.
Even though you’re not advised to use CrossOver Chromium as your default browser – it is not as clean as the Windows version, it is a way to get ready for the upcoming official version.

xVM VirtualBox 2.0 comes with support for your 64-bit Operating Systems
Sun Microsystems, owners of one of the leading desktop virtualization software VirtualBox announced the release of version 2.0 of xVM VirtualBox. With this new version you can now run your 64bit operating systems like Windows Vista, Red Hat Enterprise, FreeBSD 5, or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and many more. Amongst the many innovations, this new version is said to have a new user interface for the Mac OS and performs better on AMD chips.
I’ve been using VirtualBox for a while now on my Ubuntu 8.04 with WinXP as guest, and I’m very convinced when it comes to quality/price, its the best you can get. Can’t wait to upgrade to this new version.
It is also worth mentioning that xVM VirtualBox 2.0 is free and open source, despite that Sun Microsystems acquired Innotek – the makers of VirtualBox back in Febuary this year.
