I've been running Ubuntu on the ARM Chromebook for over a month now and it works great. I use it mostly for doing Go programming. I mostly do local development with it. If you're doing everything remotely you could probably just stick to ChromeOS (it has ssh, you can also use Chrome Remote Desktop or Guacamole http://guac-dev.org/ http://guac-dev.org/) and not bother with Ubuntu.
