Google announces next Chromebooks and a Chromebox ...
Chrome OS is a very different beast from desktop GNU/Linux distributions so I don't think that's a fair assumption.

It's really not, once you get beneath the user-facing skin (most of which is, obviously, implemented as just a bunch of Chrome extensions). It's a Linux distro running X.org. It's much (much!) closer to Ubuntu or Fedora than it is to Android.

I believe it was built in Ubuntu. I know they worked with Canonical on it before they announced it.

And even closer to Gentoo! At least, it uses portage.
