Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

Chromebooks suck the nut, netbooks all the way

I have an older Samsung chromebook loaded with coreboot UEFI firmware and boots Linux. Works....fine. It only has 16GB eMMC storage, so I think I will load a proper OS on a USB drive, hot glue it into place, and use that as the boot drive.
