Chromebooks (and Chromebox) are essentially a browser-based device. Not
really intended to keep very muchon the box itself. Most things are
expected to be in the cloud.

That said, the newer ones ca run Android apps.So you should be able to run
SSH and other stuff just like your Android phone. There are also a few
hacks to run Linux, or even windows.

Would be really cool if there was a version  of winbox that could run on
Android/Chromebook.
