This is really cool. Instead of needing to use Crouton, ChromeOS will provide access to a terminal, which will let you run a Debian container. But with the terminal, you’ll probably be able to use just about any distro.

That is great news. I used Crouton for about a year but then discovered Gallium and have been using that ever since. Works just fine — maybe this will help users with older Chromebooks. I have the Acer C720.
