I found a link to that image in [a FreeBSD forums
discussion](http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=6146&page=2).

I've been using the test builds for weeks. It works pretty well, but
not perfect yet. It still leaves some orphan processes around after
quitting.

After looking at the [explanation for how to get it
working](http://chromium.jaggeri.com/), I decided to wait until things
get simplified a bit before I give it a try.  I'm encouraged by the
progress that's being made, though.  I went looking for a reasonable
way to contribute resources to the project, even if I don't have the
time to devote effort to it (I'm invested in too many projects as it
is right now), but haven't really found anything.

Yeah, it's a beast to build, I just used the pre built binaries. Even
just using it and testing can be helpful.

I guess I need to look into what installing the binaries requires.  Do
you have a good link for the current "best practice" for installing
from a binary?

Also . . . do you happen to know whether the 32 bit binary is broken
right now?
