    Ok, that's Linux but I'd want desktop apps too. Well, maybe not. If I can run media player (DLNA) apps maybe I'm ok. Is there a way to access the optical drive (play blueray and dvd)? What about server side stuff? I don't know chrome well. Is there a dpkg repository? Will it run well in a VM and play Netflix?

      I'm not sure if it works from the international space station, but with a link from the dark side of the moon maybe the question can be extended to include all aspects of life

  The Google is saying no go on DVD decoding (and presumably Blueray) and Chrome OS. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/tlp7YblR69I https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-ce... Handling optical is one reason I haven't just used a Roku as the playing device. There's got to be a way in other Linux if Chrome OS can do it. I've tried fooling with browser identification already.
