I did install Linux in different ways over the last year on Chromebooks.
One of them is known as Crouton. There is also, I think, Chrubuntu,
which is an implementation of an older Ubuntu for some Chromebooks.
Crouton does not need this, however, as it installs itself

Yes, very good point. Although the TCP/IP stack and principles may be
well known, the wireless aspect is still (at least for me) complex. I
still have some problems with mine, and I don't know enough to diagnose
whether the problem is the router or its location.

I like reading several books about some programming of one kind or another. I

I actually have a Chromebook (Samsung). It has an HDMI port so I can
connect it to the large display. Anyone interested to see what it looks
like, or to see how we can put Linux on it?

I personnally purchase several books, actually eBooks, on different
subjects, like Android, Raspberry Pi, etc, etc from different

which is perhaps longer than a single article and that much of the info

The next thing to do, (and I *always* do this before doing anything else
with a new distro,) is to test it in Live mode. Boot from the USB key or
a CD (if you still burn those things). Can you access all your hardare
devices, networking, and what not ? If so, there is a better chance it
will work
If you are using high-quality speakers / headphones, a lossless ripping

iPods, you can still

And in that line, do we want to also include Android, which is based on
Linux, but is a very different ecosystem for end-users, as well as for

Hi JF,
I put those notes out as teasers, stimulus.
What do you
Given my background in IT security, one of the myths I saw about
OpenSource (at least in large corporate offices) is that it is less
secure and dangerous. Because of the other myths previously mentioned,
IT security people who only work in the closed source world see the
OpenSource as a threat, as
Actually, this is something that we did not hear about for a while now.
I would also be interested to see some presentation about PGP and
cryptography under Linux for an end-user, or one who is not the most
technically oriented. I used PDP back in the command-line time, but

For those interested, tomorrow (May 4) is International Day Against DRM

could, please take some sort of action to raise awareness of how DRM is
bad. This could be as simple as a blog post against DRM on your blog, or

I looked at it quickly, when I received the email (which was flagged as
