Chromebook

Last Updated February 2014

I am in the early stages of finding my way around the Chromebook. I bought an Acer C720 16gb and am installing Ubuntu (LXDE because I like Lubuntu) at this very moment.

Install Lubuntu

I enjoy Lubuntu on my netbook so I intend to use it on my Chromebook as well. There are some options here such as overwriting (rooting) the hardware, using chroot, or booting Lubuntu from a SD card. These instructions will focus on the second: chroot.
