Re: [ccp4bb] teaching question: graphics for chromebook?
It worth commenting that Chromebooks are every time getting easier and easier to install Linux natively, they are actually already running the Linux kernel, they just have an oversimplified Desktop environment. If you can convince your student to install Linux, he/she will not have any issues that historically Linux had with drivers, and also will have more tools available that as a Chomebook. L.

As an alternative option you might consider IcmJS which will run on Chromebook as well as Windows and Mac. It is a free JavaScript/HTML5 3D molecular viewer which does not require any plug-in or browser extension and runs inside any modern web browser. There is more information about IcmJS here: http://www.molsoft.com/activeicmjs.html You can see an example of IcmJS as a PDB viewer here: http://www.molsoft.com/pdbv.html Also, MolSoft's iMolview app (http://www.molsoft.com/iMolview.html) for Android can also run on Chromebook.

Re: [ccp4bb] teaching question: graphics for chromebook?
Dear Phoebe, For all x86 ones - I found using crouton + Xubuntu LTS on a chromebook very good. Including 3D acceleration [1]. Provided the HDD has space you can have complete workstation. Of course needs the students need to enable developer environment. Which model are you talking about? ARM based processors will not have 3D acceleration. Any doubts ask me.

Mailing lists for user support (those that end with "-deve...@globalphasing.com") are working, and should still be used for any queries about our software or services. The STASRANISO and Grade servers are working, as is everything in the "globalphasing.org" domain. Apologies to those of you who are not users of Global Phasing software or services. If there are any questions arising from this, please send them to us at Global Phasing directly rather than to the CCP4BB list.
