Has anyone locally converted a Chromebook / chrome os device to just boot Linux successfully? 

I'm looking for assistance and I would be happy to buy you a gift card to a place you like for the trouble. I'm not available for the March install parties and I'm not sure of reworking chrome remotely. 

Please let me know. I'm in Ahwatukee. I can drive - they are under Chrome Os builds Panther and Sand per Mr. Chromebox. 

Feel free to reach out to me directly off-list too. If there is a business I can support that won't charge Data Doctors prices, I would consider that too - just let me know. 

Thank you, 

Kevin
