Question about Chromebooks

[Ampersin]

I want to have an on the go system basically dedicated to playing on xmage. I was looking into chromebooks and thinking about running linux on it to run xmage. Has anyone done this before? If yes, any tips or suggestions going about it.

I use it to run Debian on my chromebook to develop and run Java applications.
