Seriously, though, I do get the impression that there's less emphasis now on 'buy a Chromebook and you can dual-boot into a traditional Linux distro' than there was when we started this thread.

I think Chromebooks are increasingly being accepted for what they are, rather than what they're not.

Well, I know plenty of people who have either looked at or recommended looking at Chromebooks - but I don't think any ever intended to run Chrome-OS. I'm really surprised that anyone would dual boot - I don't really get what you would use Chrome-OS for if you had Linux installed? I mean if I have my browser of choice a click away, why would I want to shut down and boot into a browser?
