Chrome OS is a special case of Linux....so you can't run a linux program directly....and not at all on older Chromebooks. However, you can run Linux programs under a special provision on new CB's. Now, I don't know if you could really run Jason't Build a Pie. Though, I would guess that you could run some of the Ham software....in some manner.?
Here's a project for someone with a new CB go for it....s????
