[nmglug] Time to resign,

[Robert Citek]

Greetings, Ted.

That's really cool to hear about installing Linux on a Chromebook.  I have
a Chromebook that has a MicroSD card slot.  Can a Chromebook boot and run
Linux from it?  I'm guessing "yes", but there may be a million reasons the
answer is "no" or "yes, but ...".

Regards,
- Robert
