[I'm not sure whether this would be better on -hackers@ or -hardware@ but -questions@ seems like a good place to start.] Is anyone considering getting FBSD to run on the Acer C7 Chromebook? The pros are that it's a cheap, small and relatively lightweight 64 bit Intel portable using integrated Intel graphics. The cons are that it's a Chromebook, so has a completely non-standard BIOS and boot sequence. However, Ubuntu has been hacked to boot on it (Google for "ChrUbuntu") so it's not totally locked down. This would make a very useful little system, but the programming needed is beyond my skill set I'm afraid.
