Google's Cr-48 is ready to run Ubuntu.

The new ChromeOS system, which Google has not officially named as a netbook, is a more complete system, that is, sooner or later, but even we were surprised to see that the Canonical Ubuntu browser was started and running on the Cr-48 so quickly. Of course, for hackers, Cr-48 is already quite friendly-it comes with a hidden but easy to open developer switch-but the ubuntu installation process is still very clever. This is not like starting Ubuntu from USB. The new Chrome OS system "black", which has not been officially named by Google, can be more complete, that is, sooner or later, but even we were surprised to see that the Canonical Ubuntu browser was started and running on the Cr-48 so quickly.

Of course, for hackers, Cr-48 is already quite friendly-it comes with a hidden but easy to open developer switch-but the ubuntu installation process is still very clever. This is not as easy as starting Ubuntu from USB, and you may often start it like that.

In fact, to make the Ubuntu kernel work, the startup process of the Cr-48 lacks a key part: initrd. The solution is to use the Chrome OS ready-made kernel to spoof it to start Ubuntu.

This is a very troublesome process. To be honest, it is not the competency of most users. But as you can see in the video above, as long as all the steps pass normally, it runs well and Chrome OS and Ubuntu (with aplomb) are both started. And it seems that you have a very low chance of making your Cr-48 "brick" permanently.
