Funny how people believe things that get repeated, no matter how false. > A Chromebook can only be used to surf the web. It's the polar opposite of what an educational institute needs. Chrome OS is a highly customized version of Gentoo at its core. When you activate developer mode, you get access to a full Linux distro. Some people use Portage to install extra tools, some use Crouton to install Ubuntu alongside Chrome OS (they share the same kernel as opposed to dual-booting). Heck, even if you don't use developer mode, there are some cool JavaScript programming tools that you can download and run locally in the browser.
