People keep saying this without realizing what is going on truely, there is two option: 1. Install crouton and use shell to Chroot to your distro (which makes most sense, became what is the reason to buy Chromebook in first place, since maybe you can buy laptop with better Linux support about same price, in this option you have your dev tools in your distro and simultaneously you enjoying your command line dev tools) But remember you are inside chrome OS so you dont have any way to access graphic stack and run Linux GUI app, I think with recent port of Android stack to chrome OS , makes Chromebook more valuable except if you want to run something like Java Swing oe eclipse( eclipse working on web UI , named Che)

2.Use croutin to install complete stack to run Linux GUI apps too.( Honestly I don't understand rational behind this, since you don't have for example Win key in Chromebook and many other issues.)
