ASUS C200

So far, it looks like even a novice can get linux going on the ASUS C200 (4G 32G-SSD). I'm offering these comments in case they help others who want to take the plunge and turn their ASUS C200 into a portable linux machine.

The only problem I seemed to have when installing was the software center. I noticed an error message that included "software center failed to setup dbs". And once I was on the desktop the software center was missing stuff (e.g. LibreOffice and Wine). But that was easy to fix, after googling I found these commands which fixed the software center: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install software-center*

In case it helps other rookies: after a powerwash, I got into developer's mode (15 minutes), then got the crouton extension and downloaded crouton. To install ubunutu, I used sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -e -r trusty -t xfce,xfce-desktop,xiwi I was unsure about using the commas for multiple targets, but it seemed to work.
