Can't beat the price!
Does anybody have any experience with this device? Can I put Debian
on it? How about other flavors of Linux? Failing that, what do you
think of Chrome-OS? Can it run Libre Office?
Thanks!
Rick
No guarantees but it would be a strange device that can't run Debian.
Chrome OS is another issue. It's an attempt to make the Chrome browser
into a platform. This merely removes the platform compatibility issue
from the operating system to the browser - just what we need.
