Ubuntu-MD Jan 23 Meeting Suggestions

[Stuart]

Ron,
Looking forward to the meeting and especially to the release of ubuntu 
16.04. I want to upgrade my desktop to install ubuntu install ubuntu 
16.04 on my new chromebook.  I know there are 2 ways to do it. I can use 
crouton or chrubuntu. I think the difference is that crouton uses the 
linix kernel of chrome to run ubuntu and chrubuntu is dual boot. I have 
installed a 64G micro SD card in the expansion slot and have a retired 
500G external HD.   I'm leaning toward chrubuntu because of the limited 
internal memory of my chromeboook, I'm not sure whether the chromebook 
can run either full ubuntu 16.04, or even 14.04 under crouton. So far I 
managed only to get my chromebook into developer mode, then promptly 
wiped out all google information and had to reenter it. Installing 
ubuntu on chromebooks would be a good topic. I'm too busy right now to 
present a talk, but would like to do one on how to load wine and use it 
to install and run windows 7 or earlier under ubuntu when tie permits.
