Interesting solution but how serious is this threat by TSA to take away 
laptops/notebooks/pads ?  If confiscated, Chromebook didn't overcome that 
threat.  There's always a Lightweight Portable Security" (LPS), live Linux CD 
or thumbdrive from the Software Protection Initiative (SPI), which can be used 
in conjunction with SkyDrive, Google Docs, etc.

Subject: [LUAU] Any extended play with the Samsung Chromebook?
 

Hi All!

     Anybody out there play with the Samsung Chromebook with ChrUbuntu 
or another good ARM distro?  Having a 2.5 lb laptop that only costs $250 
and runs fairly quickly sounds really interesting. There's a lot of info 
about installing and tweaking, but very little about actual  _usability_ 
as far as true speed, any problems with apps that have to be specially 
baked and other details.  The model would likely be the SAMSUNG 
XE303C12-A01US .

     I currently use a simple Corei3 laptop that is cheap but 
surprisingly quick.  Having a laptop that is nearly disposable is a good 
thing, since so many have lost their laptops to theft/confiscation by 
the TSA, overly playful pooches and all the other ways that laptops can 
quickly leave the mortal realm.   A cheap ARM notebook with good speed 
and battery life holds lots of appeal...

Thanks,
-Jeff Mings
