Michael> Yes, but can a chromebook be wiped and reinstalled with Linux? In many cases, yes. Look up "GalliumOS". Before that, there was crouton, which is basically running a "real" linux in a VM, though I found that rather unsatisfying. There are many different Chromebook models, and some work better than others. I am running GalliumOS, and it works well on my device. The keyboard is slightly limited. You can get F1 through F10 rather easily. F11 and F12 are a bit trickier. Installation was slightly scary, and you need to wake through some alphabet soup of model names (I have a SWANKY and a GANDOF, different model years of the Toshiba CB2) but ultimately very easy. I needed to install a new BIOS to enable booting non-chrome. Storage space is a bit limited (16GB) as well, though the SSD is replaceable with some disassembly, and it has an SD slot. I haven't replaced the SSD or, for that matter, needed to do it. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
