Interesting that you mentioned Olaf Johansson. I saw his post and got very interested. If you want to learn about Chromium internals, I recommend a couple of mailing lists to join. The first is [email protected]. Olaf and many other "chromium.org" people are very active in discussing hacking and making the official and open source versions of Chrome OS work on various systems.
Another group that discusses topics like dual boot and hacking Chrome OSin general, you might check a web only group called chromebook-central on Google groups. -- steve <http://pirk.com> On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 12:04 PM, Ottavio Caruso <[email protected]>wrote: > On 19 October 2012 10:42, Ottavio Caruso <[email protected]> wrote: > > Does anybody know which ARM processor it has and if it can potentially > > run Slackware ARM in a proper and easy way? > > Olof Johansson has just posted a way to install an alternative Linux > distro on the new Chromebook: > https://plus.google.com/u/0/109993695638569781190/posts/b2fazijJppZ > > He has succeded with Suse just using the Suse root filesystem and the > Chrome OS stock kernel.
