I tried crouton for a day or so, didn't like it. Why run on top of ChromeOS if you don't have to. I flashed Seabios on the C720 and just installed native Xubuntu, with a little configuration and driver installation everything works pretty perfectly. There is no initial beep or scary screen and no way to wipe the laptop with one button on boot. Johnlewis does some great work on these builds[0]. Give him some money. I learned about this later, but could have maybe saved myself some configuration time[1]. Of course it would be much nicer for Acer, Google, HP et. al. to provide a linux build, but I don't really see that happening.
