I recently installed Ubuntu on my first generation chromebook. (http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/chrubuntu-1204-now-with-double-bits.html http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/chrubuntu-1204-n...) This is a perfect setup for me. I have a linode as well, but found that 3G and wireless wasn't good enough for out and about (I live in Yorkshire UK). I cannot say enough good things about the chromebook w/ Ubuntu. It is an endless pleasure to use. The one caveat to this is that I only use a handful of terminals and the browser. I suspect that using any of the other GUI features of Unity is probably miserable (as they are on my i7 machine too)
