Dear Google Chrome Linux fans, here is a small tutorial on how to install Google Chrome on your latest Fedora operating system. Thanks Sijo, for sharing this with me.

First step:

Create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo with the contents below

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Install chrome : Go to command line and type

yum install google-chrome

That should install google chrome on your computer. I also found a video tutorial showing how to do this, in somewhat similar manner.

The last fedora version that I used was FC10, one year back. I changed to Ubuntu after that just for a change, Fedora is also a great linux distribution for those who wanted to do some serious Linux computing !
