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?!?
Maybe they couldn't find a reasonable quantity of smaller drives.
