Google Chrome (Native) Browser on Linux

I've just installed the native Google Chrome (developer edition) on SuSE Linux 11.2. It's fast and easy to use and in my opinion it's better than Firefox. You could install this via WINE but why do that when there's a native version?

All I had to do was execute the following commands in the shell:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.191.3-1.i386.rpm --nodeps

and

for i in libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so ; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.0d; done

I didn't get any errors but if you do please let me know and i'll try to help. This may also work in other Linux distro's.

Unweaving the Rainbow, by Richard Dawkins

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
