[CentOS] Slightly OT: Samsung Chromebook

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Chromebook,
largely for use while travelling.
But I'd like to use it at home linked to my CentOS-6.4 server,
rather than to the cloud.
I'm wondering if this is practicable?
I use LaTeX quite a lot,
and I don't know if I could (a) download LaTeX to the Chromebook,
(b) run LaTeX on the cloud, 
or (c) run LaTeX on my server from the Chromebook.

Has anyone experience of doing this sort of thing?
