My understanding is that Chrome OS is based on Chromium OS, which is
more FLOSS oriented:
http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os

Some months ago I gave a try to this re-build of Chromium OS:
http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

and it was working (it wasn't updated since last February though).

The wiki says that you can install Ubuntu packages, but I did not try:
http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/wiki/doku.php?id=addingpackages

So it seems possible to extend it (the question is then whether it
would be useful).
