I choose - Waste of time

Too many hardware versions (

)
And, how about vendor-locks (Google :) )?

 I think that Plan9Port using the underlying Linux OS might be a better
 choice.  I have also been thinking about cross-compiling from a Plan9
 install (such as that on Raspberry Pi) to Samsung ARM based ChromeBook.

 Getting Plan9 to work with fastboot and implementing device drivers for
 the various ChromeBooks might be a lot of work.  Don't know enough to
 justify my assumptions though.

 It's no question that the Chromebook makes a wonderful candidate to
 integrate features of 9 into. The thing was practically BUILT for
 distributed computing, what with app servers and cloud integration tightly
 integrated into the hardware. What I was thinking was creating a chrome
 extension for 9P and the distributed file system, so that there'd be an
 easy way to connect 9 machines and maybe even create a chrome 9 grid for
 super processing. What would be your opinion on doing such a thing?
 Practical? Waste of time? Wanna help?
