Yeah and now I've taken it completely off-topic (see below).
a Chromebook, but was going to install a different OS...(I was hoping for either Debian or Fedora!) I don't know if either will work with the machine without "glitches".....

On many of those links (Debian+Fedora) speak of switching to Chromebook developer mode and one of the Fedora ones it instructs to back up firmware. Sounds like fun.

Some hardware is built to run the manufacturer's supported OS and not much else. ;)
