Steve HerrickChromebooks supposedly run Linux apps "natively." This is false. You have to install a virtual machine on top of Chrome OS, and even then, performance is spotty, which will be hugely disappointing to anyone used to running Linux. If you have a Chromebook, I recommend looking into Gallium OS (which is based on Xubuntu).
