Interesting solution but how serious is this threat by TSA to take away laptops/notebooks/pads ? If confiscated, Chromebook didn't overcome that threat. There's always a Lightweight Portable Security" (LPS), live Linux CD or thumbdrive from the Software Protection Initiative (SPI), which can be used in conjunction with SkyDrive, Google Docs, etc.

Hi All!
Anybody out there play with the Samsung Chromebook with ChrUbuntu
or another good ARM distro? Having a 2.5 lb laptop that only costs $250
and runs fairly quickly sounds really interesting. There's a lot of info
about installing and tweaking, but very little about actual _usability_
as far as true speed, any problems with apps that have to be specially
baked and other details. The model would likely be the SAMSUNG
XE303C12-A01US .
I currently use a simple Corei3 laptop that is cheap but
surprisingly quick. Having a laptop that is nearly disposable is a good
thing, since so many have lost their laptops to theft/confiscation by
the TSA, overly playful pooches and all the other ways that laptops can
quickly leave the mortal realm. A cheap ARM notebook with good speed
and battery life holds lots of appeal...
Thanks,
-Jeff Mings
