it ships with ChromeOS which is based on Gentoo and runs Linux. all the |
| 15 |
source has been released for the u-boot & linux, and most of it has been |
| 16 |
merged into the respective mainlines. |

so that's what i run on it ... plain Gentoo. |

that is the one downside to the laptop. its main disk is 16GiB flash connected |
| 25 |
to one of the eMMC ports. it has an additional SD port for cards (so i put a |
| 26 |
64GiB in there), and it has two USB ports (2.0 and 3.0), so you could hook |
| 27 |
external disks up. i would have loved to have a SATA port in there though. |
