Is this any help?
Thanks very much for the information. At the moment, I'm thinking more about the live Linux aspect than a dual boot system (although I usually end up with a BSD and one or two Linux distros on my laptop , so the pointer to Crouton could be very helpful down the line). I am concerned about finding a live Linux distro that would be comfortable with the ARM architecture, and that would play nice with the hardware.
