Re: [NBLUG/Announce] [NBLUG/talk] Nov meeting: Installing Ubuntu Linux onto a Chromebook with crouton - announce

14 Nov 2017

Note that our elections are tonight following Frank's talk and seeing as we
haven't had any nominations submitted by E-Mail this year we'll be doing that
process live at the meeting.

Come in person if you can not just to do your civic duty to vote but also to pick up free
T-Shirts, stickers, and other shwag from Linux laptop maker System76.  We'll also have
lots of free O'Reilly books available for the taking at tonight's meeting.

Oh, and come for Frank's talk.  I'm amazed how far the Chromebook community has
come.  See you tonight at O'Reily at 7:30,

A.C.

 Chromebooks and Chromeboxes are cheap, easy to use, and pretty secure;
 but after a while the shortcomings of Chrome OS get annoying and I want
 my Linux.  Crouton is a script which installs Debian, Kali, or Ubuntu
 Linux into a chroot container that runs under Chrome OS.  It's easy to
 install, and it works great.
