Hehe.. Comment of the year. As I said earlier I think he wants MX to succeed. but this comment is

I used gallium largely because it is tailored to chromebooks with different releases depending on processor. i also flashed the bios IAW the instructions on GalliumOs site to be able to boot from ...

Gallium is optimized for the weird chrome book keyboard. I got lucky and got my c720p in bulk from a school lease sale. But that model can be found on Groupon for 79 to 99. Mx ran great on an old Toshiba netbook so I'm sure it will run on a chromebook
