Hoping someone could  present in  either October or  November this fall on  this:
CROUTON:Hard-core Chromebook enthusiasts have long touted the ability to run Linux side by side with Chrome OS, giving them a full-fledged desktop OS on a cheaper machine.Now, thanks to a tool called Crouton, users no longer need to leave Chrome to access their favorite Linux software. With Crouton, you’re able to run a Linux build right on your Chromebook as another tab. Crouton is essentially a set of scripts that bundle up a Chromium chroot generator. It currently supports Ubuntu and Debian, though other variants don’t translate so well.You can grab the scripts directly from the Crouton GitHub site. To use this you’ll want to have some working knowledge of Linux tools and the command line so that you can get yourself out in case you’re in a jam.
