I've seen doing that via Crouton and being able to "sideload" Slackware on it 
too.  For my needs, that would just be too much work.  By the time I get done 
with work when I'm traveling, I'm dead tired, and all I want to do is check 
the BBS, my email, maybe surf the Web a little, and use Teamviewer to help fix 
friends' and family's computers if need be.  I also like the only moving part 
in my Lenovo is the CPU fan and the Lenovo's case has been "hardened".

But the Chromebook is on backorder as of yesterday, sigh.

For $99 and $5.99 shipping, I couldn't resist!

Later,
