    No worries mate :) and yeah i was at it for about six hours yesterday :/ i tryed all the different ways, and yes there are videos up of it but they are for the Samsung Series 3 (ARM) Chromebooks and the Acer C700 Chromebook, Mine is the Samsung Series 5 (Intel) Chromebook and i found a forum explaining it but it didn't work :/ I tried that way twice, No look so unless I'm missing something small or you cant actually do it on this Chromebook/Model what ever i don't know i would just like someone that has done it or knows how to do it to give a hand be much appreciated because iv set out to do this and im making it my mission now :cool: haha.

    I remember seeing an article on the arch Linux wiki detailing a full install.

    Do you want to dual boot or have Linux only?

    Fair enough. I'll have a look for you. I would urge you to consider crouton for your needs. It runs inside chrome. Use it myself on b my c720 and it is great.
