He's also got a rough guide for the ARM Chromebook.
AIUI at the moment you must use the ChromeOS kernel with Ubuntu's userland and some things don't work. TBH I don't really see the point of x86 Chromebooks. Why not just have a cheap laptop? But the ARM ones really appeal. Cool running, no heatsinks or vents to clog with dust, no whining fans, and twice the battery life from a small, thin, light unit. I'll give up a bit of compatibility and performance for that! -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
