Ask HN: Installing Ubuntu on Chromebook

I'm using crouton to run ubuntu on my samsung chromebook. It works great and is very easy to install:

If skype only thing that concern you, I would probably try to switch to combination of google+ / imo.im to replace it leaving chromebook with chrome os alone.

Just an FYI, I use Ubuntu as my main OS these days. Several years ago, I got acquainted with Ubuntu but installing it on my CR48 and using that part time.
