I'd be surprised if my already-overburdened NAS device, which I just hacked with a web server to get the Chromebook access to the data, could handle anything else, but I'll look into it. I really don't like having to have another computer running, and while the Rasberry Pi would be fun, I didn't want the Chromebook to be the cause of another hobby.

That one caught me by suprise too, but if you're Linux-savvy (which your post suggests that you are) you can open a terminal window on your Chromebook (Ctrl-Alt-T) and log into the NAS using ssh, or use a VNC client. Take a look at ShiftEdit if you want an ftp client.

I'm not about to send my wife to a command line! :-)
I got an html interface working, so we're set for basic functionality, but I'm still surprised how much the thing shuns any sort of local network technologies.
At least it has an RDP client.
And yet this cheapest of all Chromebooks has a 320GB drive! If not for a linux install, with it's limited local functionality, what on earth do they expect any normal chromebook user to do with all that space?!?
