according to http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/google-chrome-os-based-on-ubuntu/ it's based on Ubuntu, or at least was at that time

The first builds of Chrome OS had Ubuntu as its foundation, but it's changed over the years. In February 2010, Chrome OS started switching its foundation Linux distribution from Ubuntu to the older, and more obscure, Gentoo Linux.
