Chrome Beta for Linux 4.0.249.30 on openSUSE
I forgot my laptop at home today, so I was unable to install Chrome while I was at work. condos for rent . (yes, that’s an embarrassing story). wds . But now I’ve gotten home and installed the RPM using zypper: sudo zypper in google-chrome-beta_current_`uname -i`.rpmAfter doing this, I launched Chrome using google-chrome and it put a smile in my face just knowing that it was in “beta”.
