Linux on a Chromebook via Crouton

I am amazed at how easy this is to get up and running.

1. Enable Developer Mode.
2. Download and run the Crouton script.
3. Start the environment.

Pretty cool. Being able to swap instantly back and forth between ChomeOS and Ubuntu with simple key commands is super convenient.

I wish I knew how easy and cool this was. I would have done it immediately.

Digital Ocean

I was thinking of using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud for my website but it seems like overkill. It also feels overly complex to host a simple website and blog.

I'm going to give Digital Ocean a try. You can get a pretty nice set up for only $5 a month and ramp things up as you need them.

You can also create a instance in 55 seconds. You can clone, snapshot, delete, and rebuild quickly. It seems really nice for testing things out before you make a larger commitment.

I'm probably going to move this blog over to GHOST and finally fire up the main website.

Stay tuned!
