Try out Jolicloud? I don't have a CR-48 and so I tried installing Jolicloud on my laptop but it wouldn't recognize my wireless, other than that, it seemed cool.
I use a CR-48 for email/Twitter/Facebook/HN/etc., and everything else when I'm not at home.
Oh my god?
It's just a Linux with a browser instead of a shell, nothing too fancy :)

There is a 64 bit kernel floating around but I haven't tried installing that yet.

There's something weird about the hardware specialization with chromeos though. About fall 2010 I accidentally my whole win 7 notebook and installed a copy of chromeos onto the harddrive before switching to arch Linux. Twas terribly slow and unresponsive, but this may have just been because of it still being a sec build not designed for a dualcore lenovo box.

Happy to report CR-48 is much more stable and fast with latest daily images.
