Okay ladies and gentlemen here it is! So far I have not seen a complete guide for installing Ubuntu Linux on this Acer C7 Chromebook. Hopefully I have taken out all the bloopers and bad takes here. It is late, I am tired, and I have to wake up early for work. I will put out another video sometime next week as to why I can not install Windows but I am pretty sure many of you out there already know why. I still want to talk about the challenges of installing Windows and why Google and Acer made it so difficult to do.
I must give credit to a few websites and developer. Without them I would not be able to install linux on this machine.
The Chrubuntu Creator. Without this specially formulated version of Ubuntu and the script to install it, the installation process would have been much harder.
