[HLUG] Chromebooks/Ubuntu

[Ben Proctor from the likeaword consultancy]

Hi John

I have had a Chromebook Pixel for a couple of years and used to (though
I've stopped now) run Ubuntu alongside it using the very awesome Crouton
project

https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

The great thing about Chromebooks is if it all goes horribly wrong you just
to a hard restart and go back to the beginning

Cheers

Ben
