Do "the majority of the population" have to run their preferences by you first before they get to exercise their choice? Is there some approved whitelist of candidates, compiled in Western capitals, that needs to be circulated amo

Unless I missed something, we have different price points for 3 different models, but apart from storage capacity, no mention of other spec diffs between these models. So we don't know if these models also have increasing ram, or more

Well, by the same token ChromeOS is a linux distro. And in dev mode, you get access to a bash shell, full root access, and a spare vt (so you can run xorg, etc). So you can install anything you like. Rendering your original complaint moot.

If you: * resize the (unused) root-c partition (use the chrx script to do it for you, if you like) * mount it somewhere under /mnt/stateful_partition * use that for your chroots, etc Then you can safely use chromeos in dev mode, a

In the absence of specs, we're all guessing here. That said, I would (err) guess that the more expensive versions also have more RAM and bigger CPU's. We'll see when the actual models are trotted out ...

+1 to that. Music aside, as a counterpoint to what looks like some carefully choreographed character assassination at the beginning of this thread, I'll add that I've been impressed by the calmness of his demeanour and what comes

Install the crosh extension (which depends on the ssh extension). Now you have a better term in a standalone window. It's more configurable. You can open the javascript console and set your preferred colours, turn off certain keybindin

zram has worked fine on my chromebooks. This is with running multiple chroots - and I have hit the oom killer a number of times (when even zram swap wasn't enough). Until you actually run out of memory, zram seems very much a set-and-

Isn't this dependent upon the microkernel's license? Wouldn't it be possible to use an open-source license which also explicitly forces servers which use it to also be covered under the same license? Something akin to to affe
