I found out about this on @googlemobile twitter this morning. I did a quick search of the forum and didn't see anything on it.

Downloads - android-x86 - Project Hosting on Google Code

I downloaded the asus Eeepc iso and booted from a usb stick.

What is it?

This is pretty damn cool. Think of the possibilities.

I used this walkthrough to install it on a 4GB flash drive.

Run Android on Your Netbook or Desktop - How-To Geek
The biggest problems I am having are getting the wifi to work and trying to find a way to mount the sd card that isn't there. I'm sure there is a way to get everything working (drivers, etc...) but sadly I am a Linux noob.

Also I can't get Angry Birds to install. lol It downloads but that's as far as she goes.

i couldn't get angry birds to install either. i tried to boot from usb at first and had the sdcard error. So i installed it and it ask if you want to make a fake sdcard so i did that. I also did the virtual box thing with the generic image on my hp dv5, and still no luck. when i get some time in gonna try to get an app from the net and install it that way. When I booted back into windows I see theres a folder named android and there is a sdcard.img file. I'm kinda new at this and don't know if i can add files into an .img file like you would do with a .rar or .zip file.

I also couldn't get it to sync with my gmail acct. under settings>account & sync. I think this is still fairly new I guess it could only get better.

If all you want is angry birds you can get it in Intel AppUp center.
