Feeling like something different, I recently bought a HP Chromebook 11. In this article I give my impressions on the device itself and also some Linux-specific goodness thanks to something caled Crouton, plus a few thoughts on working in the "cloud".

As someone who uses a typical GNU/Linux distribution pretty much every day (which ranges from Ubuntu to Arch, Debian etc depending on the hardware), one might wonder why I suddenly decided to buy a Chromebook of all things. One would further wonder this when they consider I'm someone who has some reservations about operating purely in the so-called "cloud". Plus I really like my shell tools and programs, such as Bash, Perl, grep and Vim etc, which are literally tools I just about can't live without.
