One of the easiest way to try Chromium browser in Ubuntu Linux (Google Chrome browser
for Unix/Linux operating system is named as Chromium) is to use daily
binary builds at https://launchpad.net/chromium-project. Today Ubuntu is
the most popular Linux disributions for desktops so there are daily
builds available for the following Ubuntu versions: hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic.
First let your Ubuntu know where it should find chromium-browser deb package:
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
add the following lines:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Replace
jaunty with hardy, intrepid or karmic depending which version you run
at your computer. If you feel this information is not sufficient for
you, follow this link to get Ubuntu official information on this matter
or follow Launchpad help.
The next step is to install Chromium browser:
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install chromium-browseror
sudo aptitude install chromium-browser
Once you press enter Ubuntu
will download around 18 MB of data from launchpad’s server and will
install Chromium with gnome menu entries and shortcuts. Now you can go
to System menu –> Internet –> Chromium Web Browser in order to launch Google browser.

As
you might know there is still no official release of chromium/chrome
available for Linux, so these daily builds from launchpad are for
testing/observations purposes only. For example, there is no flash
plugin available so you will be able to see html pages like this one and
no swf/flash content. Anyway thanks to Google for great browser which
has all chances to become “browser number one” for Linux or even for the
rest of operating system such as Windows or Mac.
