I've always wondered if you multi-boot in a Chromebook. Can you? Someone has once offered to sell his old Acer Chromebook. I've immediately turned it down thinking I can't find any purpose for a Chromebook, but I never really bothered to know if I can install Windows in it.

Scope creep!
I think most Chromebooks have an ARM processor, so it can't run x86 Windows. Maybe it could run Windows 8 RT <shudder>.
If I were to print all of the pages that contain the explanation and bind them all into a slab, go to his house, and beat him into traction with it, would anyone here testify against me?
Officer, Nox was at my house losing at poker..
*led away in cuffs* NO, NOT AGAIN. IT WASN'T POKER, IT WAS UNO.
And I was invited in!
Tried asking around, and I found out a friend of mine has a version of Ubuntu called "ChrUbuntu" in his Chromebook. He relied on the information in the links below to get it to work:

personally i dont think we need another os... a chromebook in my eyes, i just dont know how to justify buying one
There's no problem with having another OS in the market apart from Windows, Mac and Linux, provided that there is a reason for it to be in the market in the first place. There is potential in Chrome OS, that is if it weren't for flaws such as lacking the option to replace the OS (despite being a Linux-based OS itself) and the fact that other OS's already fulfill things that Chrome OS was aiming for. There is nothing very unique about Chrome OS apart from the quick start-up time and it being an OS for low-end budget-friendly PCs (where people would likely prefer another better OS for, like Ubuntu).
If they could somehow give it a really good advantage over other OS's in the market, it would be a lot better. And with the fact that they're working on two open source OS's at the same time, the other being more successful than Chrome OS, I'm not sure if Google could do it.

I don't really think I have anything to suggest in regards to the development or framework of Somnia. Don't really have any ideas for the so-called "cart before the horse", I don't know the first thing about Java, and my knowledge of operating systems only goes as up to Windows 7.
However, I have one last query before my contributions to this thread go entirely offtopic:
Do you have cellphone providers that give you sattelite SIM dongles? They're like wireless dongles, but you put a SIM card into it (the very same one you'd find in a cellphone), and it connects you wirelessly to the internet, from anywhere. With a decent carrier contract, it'd be expensive, but at least it'd give you a connection to the outside world until your ISP actually gets stuff done.

You mean like a Mi-Fi? AT&T tried to get me to sign up for that, but the limiting factor there is cell coverage. Coverage in my area is beyond terrible. Also, I refuse to pay them more money for a slower connection with a lower monthly cap.
I've tried using USB tethering on my Android phone (running CM7), but it doesn't work. My PC doesn't recognize it as a network device, even though I thought I had all the drivers in place. Apparently I'm not the only one with that problem. Funny thing is, I can use my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, but the only computer I have that's capable of connecting to Wi-Fi is the Chromebook, which of course I can't use to develop.

I didn't read the entire 88 pages but I can only assume from your recent replies that you live in the US. Isn't it sad that out of all the industrialized countries, the US has the worst yet most expensive internet coverage?
I do wish you luck. In a galaxy far, far away I once had AT&T and wasn't too pleased with them.

Welcome to regulation by a system that was implemented before it was understood.
Now we know that the result is a system that protects the interests of those regulated, not a system that protects the interests of those that use the regulated product. However, all the money is on the side that wants to maintain the status quo.
Best of intentions, but failure to understand the issue.

Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?

Why do you think Americans are so happy that something like Google Fiber has finally come on the market?

By the looks of things, it's going to take tons of effort to install the OS. Now I know why I went against Chomebooks in the first place.
a chromebook in my eyes, i just dont know how to justify buying one
Yeah, I'm really not interested in chasing that rabbit.
Good thing I didn't buy the CR-48. Chromebooks are super cheap, though. (Except the Pixel.)
From what Been stated, sounds like he'll have internet as soon as some(decent) provider adds his house to the cloud.
No estimates from AT&T. I really wish I could give my money to someone else.
you should code your own internet conntection
Should he lay his own cables in the road as well?
Guys, I found a redstone vein in my backyard. I'll be creating a Pickstarter project here soon so you guys can donate to the mining effort.
....sounds legit.
