I mentioned at the Linux SIG I bought a refurbished Acer Chromebook for $129 (plus $10 state tax). I brought it to our August FOSS SIG Meeting. So far I’m impressed with what it can do.
Since this is a cloud computer, I delved more into Google drive and found some impressive things to share. See my May 2013 TBCS general meeting presentation converted by Google Presentation by clicking here.
I also installed Peppermint Linux on Carl’s refurbished computer.
Finally I had these interesting links to share:
