flash on chrubuntu or crouton

[interglossa]

I am interested in people's experiences using chrubuntu or crouton. Specifically, did you have to struggle to get flash working on either of these? also what is the cheapest chromebook you were able to find for this? The Acer platform may represent a floor right now.

Oh my yes, Chrubuntu certainly supports Flash. I have an Acer C7 with the 360GB HD; it cost me a mere $200 (no Windows tax!) and it works very well; considering that it has Sandy Bridge graphics, which were roundly criticized, it's pretty amazing how well it runs games. Not every game, mind you, but all the Half-Life series run at playable speeds, all the OpenGL screensavers are snappy, etc.

Bear in mind that Chrubuntu is a full Linux installation, and pretty much what a Linux desktop machine can do, an Acer C7 can do, if it's running Linux.
