Background¶
I was interested in the Chromebook when the Cr-48 was first released by Google and I was chosen to be part of their pilot progarm. Since then, I've used Chromebooks as my main laptop and used other OS' and systems for support.
The reason for going with a Chromebook is to use a simple OS that does the basics of browsing the web and enabling me to SSH into other systems.
Penguin Terminal¶
I only use the built in Penguin Terminal when I'm away from my home network.
SSH Client¶
I use the Secure Shell extension by Google as my main SSH client to connect to all of my other machines. This client is lightweight and syncs with my other Chrome browser sessions, which is handy.
