>> I guess Chromebooks come running Chrome OS, which is "Linux based," but
what are your opinions?  Do they have a good package system?  Is it somehow
related to Android?

I don't think there's even a package management system. My sister got a
chromebook and I couldn't even figure out how to install a native photo
editor (anything from MS paint to gimp would've been OK) or an FTP client.
Everything seems to be just web apps that get bookmarked on your desktop.

If I had one I'd install Ubuntu on it ASAP.
