Many of us not using Windows were left disappointed when a Linux port of Google Chrome wasn't initially available, but no fear. Windows emulation software is at our rescue.

How to Install Google Chrome on Linux Using WINE
Bold text indicates a linux command associated with the instruction.

First, make sure your wine version version 1.1.3 or greater.
wine -version

Next, download and install winetricks.
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sudo cp winetricks /usr/sbin


Prepare the way for Google Chrome and install some dependencies for it.
winetricks riched20 riched30
winetricks flash allfonts


Download the Google Chrome installer.
wget http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/install/1 ... taller.exe

Install Google Chrome. (During the installation, choose to create a desktop icon.)
wine chrome_installer.exe

Next, go to the desktop shortcut icon that was just made, and edit its properties. Move your cursor to the end of the target path (env WINEPREFIX="/home ..... \Application\chrome.exe") and append "-new-http" without quotes, save your shortcut, and start up Google Chrome!

Cheers everyone hope you found this useful.
