I apologize if this is the incorrect place to bring it up but I thought I may get pointed I'm the right direction. I have the device in developer mode and the write protect screw removed. I have been unable to find guidance on Ubuntu standalone all that I have found is references to install whatever Linux distro you want but no clear instruction on how it's done. I know that I need to put the OS on a usb stick and then hit the esc key when the device boots up and then install from the stick but there is so many files for Ubuntu I don't know which one to choose for this particular purpose. Thanks in advance to whoever can help me
1) follow steps for standalone setup
2) install Ubuntu instead of OpenELEC
Info on creating the Ubuntu USB installer is on Ubuntu's site, and is no different than on any other 64-bit x86 PC.
I have the option of Ubuntu 14.10 (unity) or 14.10 (GNOME) does it matter which one i would put on the chromebox? is one preferred over the other for this setup? thank you for the quick response! much appreciated
