I found out today that Google Chrome is now available for Linux.
However, and this is a big but:

$ sudo rpm -ivh google-chrome-beta_current_x86_64.rpm
Password:
warning: google-chrome-beta_current_x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA
signature: NOKEY, key ID 7fac5991
error: Failed dependencies:
       lsb >= 3.2 is needed by google-chrome-beta-4.0.249.30-33928.x86_64
       xdg-utils is needed by google-chrome-beta-4.0.249.30-33928.x86_64
$ yum list | grep -i lsb
redhat-lsb.i386                            3.1-12.3.EL.el5.centos      installed
redhat-lsb.x86_64                          3.1-12.3.EL.el5.centos      installed

I'm not that familiar with lsb, but from what I can find, it does not
seem like it would be a good idea to install a more recent version of
lsb than the official release, or am I way off base here?

I can get xdg-utils easily enough, but it doesn't seem relevant if I
can't use the newer lsb.

So, is it possible to use lsb 3.2+ on CentOS 5.4 without breaking
anything?  Is there anything else I'd need to do, other than convert
to Fedora (not going to happen)?

Thanks.

I tried this yesterday on my 32 bit 5.4 box, installed xdg, removed lsb and installed the F10 lsb which is 3.2 or higher. This alone doesn't seem to break anything as such so I then installed the google-chrome-beta rpm. This installed OK now but when I ran chrome I got this 'libexpat.so.1 not found'  5.4 has version 0.5.0 of this. I stopped here, it looks as though CentOS is just to far behind the edge for Chrome
