If you have been following my posts you would know that around a month ago I purchased one of the $250 Samsung ARM Chromebook that runs the Chrome OS. Well, I like to tinker so I did some research and learned that you can run a version of Ubuntu called “Chrubuntu” which is basically Ubuntu Linux written for the Chromebook ARM processor. Well, here is a link to the group of people maintaining that project: Chrubuntu Install He has the full instructions on there to get you going with Chrubuntu on your chromebook. A word of warning though with doing this with your machine, the trackpad will not work quite like you want it, but thats nothing a USB mouse won’t fix. I am still struggling with getting audio to work exactly as I would like, but that’s not a big deal since I just plan on doing web development with this machine. Even still, its a very nice way to make better use of this little lightweight netbook. I will post as time goes on interesting things I learn, stay tuned….
