Crouton lets you install a native debian. You have to put the Chromebook into developer mode first.

Saying yes clobbers the system you painstakingly installed. cheers > > -- > Ottavio Caruso > > A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. > Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? > A: Top-posting. > Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? > -- Joel Roth
