How to Install Ubuntu Using Crouton - Acer C7 Chromebook



This is an easy method of installing the Ubuntu Linux OS along side the Chrome OS on the Acer C7 Chromebook. I like this method a lot better. This method does also work for the ARM Chromebooks such as the Samsung series. For the Chromebook Pixel you have to type in a slightly different command to install. That command for the pixel is: sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t touch,xfce

The only thing I can't really do is boot straight into ubuntu. I always have to type in the commands. Maybe there is a method or command that will boot linux on startup but I don't know it. Feel free to look it up and comment if there is a way.
