Crouton Explained on an HP Chromebook 11

Crouton was covered here several times before, but if you haven't heard about it yet or don't understand what it does, watch the first part of episode 1721 of hak5.

Host Darren explains in a well comprehensible way what Crouton is, what chrooted environment means and how you can run Linux on a Chromebook. He uses an HP Chromebook 11 to walk you through the steps to install Ubuntu with the Xfce desktop environment.

Specifically Darren demonstrates:

How to activate developer mode.
How to install Crouton.
How to install Ubuntu with Xfce.
How to start terminal and GUI environments.

Definitely a nice intro to Crouton and how to get started with it. In the 2nd part of this episode Shannon enlightens us on why light emitting diodes (LEDs) are fun, so if your interested in that as well, watch the whole show.

Operating Systems: Chrome OS
