Some of the Chromebooks are ARM-based; some are Intel-based. Yours was the latter. To do the cool stuff that we all know and love, you’ll need to enable Developer Mode. I think this page will help, if you want to try again at a later date:- http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/acer-c7-chromebook Alternatively, try an ARM-based Chromebook. See http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Chromebooks/zgbs/electronics/2858603011 for a range of options. Debian has a large section on a Wiki site – DebianOn? – that will help you shoehorn Debian (or TAILS) onto a Chromebook. -Hugo
