Re: Running Linux on Samsung's ARM Chromebook

Samsung [ARM] Chromebook. I was wondering how it'd go running a full version of Linux [...]

Caveat: chromebooks are notoriously well locked down. For example, IIRC there's a hardware switch you need to flip, to boot off something other than itself (like, to install a normal linux). And that also erases your user data area, to ensure Bad Men can't get at it. Plus the usual quirks that ARM systems always have, but you can probably work around some (most?) of those by running either a bleeding-edge kernel, or the android-flavoured variant the vendor shipped. Pay attention to other people who have already fought the same model.
