[Discuss] Linux on a Chromebook

[kentborg at borg.org (Kent Borg)]

Has anyone here run native Linux on a Chromebook? I don't mean running 
under Chrome OS (I don't trust Chrome OS), but a native Linux boot.

I realize these things are low-powered, that's okay. I basically want a 
Raspberry PI-calibre machine, but with nice packaging, to use as 
notebook, for narrow purposes.

Is this a sensible thing to do? (What should I look for in selecting 
hardware?)

Thanks,
