I hacked together an open source VNC viewer which can run on the ARM Chromebooks[0] earlier this year. Source code at [1]. It't far from perfect but it did what I needed it to do.

This is probably relevant:

1. Download VNC Viewer for Google Chrome to a Windows, Mac OS X, UNIX, or Linux computer, or to a Chromebook or Chromebox with an Intel processor (support for ARM processors coming soon).

Hmm, this is cool. Spin up an EC2 instance and bam you've got access to developer tools.

Not supported on Mint, apparently.

Works for me on a AC700 Chromebook. I think it doesn't yet work on the Samsung ARM CB.

Im on cr-48 and worked fine. Took a little bit while it said checking, but worked.
