Yeah and now I've taken it completely off-topic (see below).

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.

Sort of reminds me of my idea to put Linux on an older Apple Xserve...
1.  Does Fedora/CentOS/Debian support PowerPC?  Yes
2.  Does XYZ piece of hardware work?  Maybe - I came up with a load of
maybes.

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