Re: [PLUG] Low Cost Netbook

[Paul Walker <starsinmypockets@gmail.com>]

Looks like I got a line on something lenovo which got snafud trying to set up dual boot. I'm sure you'll being hearing more from me! My first inkling is to try Trinity Rescue Kit, which I've never used but heard glowing reviews of (from this community). 

More to follow...

While I love ChromeOS, I don't think I'd recommend it as a development
platform.  Maybe if you dual-boot something else on it you could use
it for development (ideally for something that doesn't take ages to
compile), but I agree that virtualization is a bit much.
