these machines are amazing, but sadly they're showing signs of age these days. mine's already kinda unusable due to dim CCFL backlight and fan grinding noise.
afaik all modern x86 chromebooks ship with coreboot based firmware
Win2000 or WinXP would be a better choice due to numerous reasons though. Win2K with an SSD is absolutely going to fly on that thing.
8gb is plenty. i've ran tinycore on machines with 512MB or less
edit: the parent commenter's comment history looks weird; constantly linking to that url. is this a bot i'm replying to?
