The price fluctuates but I paid $160 off amazon, no taxes and free shipping. With the amount of games it can handle its a win in my book

*edit*
was working on figuring out how to run p99 on an SD Card since the storage space on the chromebook is a smidgling 16gb, USB stick isn't an option as the only 2 slots are being used by tether and mouse. Finally got it to work with the usual help from google. Step 1, prepare the SD Card - Install Gparted via Ubuntu Software Center or in the terminal type: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install gparted - Load up Gparted and reformat the card from FAT32 to Ext4. *Optional Step* if you have read/write permissions like I did (this was the only method I got to work): - Install Nautilus via Ubuntu Software Center or from terminal type: sudo apt-get install Nautilus then sudo nautilus - Right click on the sd card in the Devices section and select properties, nautilus looks just like File Manager. - Select the permissions tab, select your username from the Group drop down menu (default should be Root), and select Create and delete Files from the Access drop down. Step 2, install p99 and run! (Still being new to Linux I've not figured out how to redirect the script in OP to the sd card [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) Pretty self explanatory, copy/paste the EQ directory onto the card then: - Right click on EQ directory and click open up a terminal - Copy/paste the last line from the script mentioned in OP: taskset -c 0 padsp wine eqgame.exe patchme 2>/dev/null ~

Update (wtb edit function)
I'd highly recommend dual booting and just running EQ off a microSD card or USB, if you let the battery drain completely (as I did) it will default the "legacy boot" setting in the BIOS and will not load Linux via CTRL+L. Which then requires a complete wipe and restore to factory settings using the chrome recovery tool. I had the dual boot instructions linked in the OP, the only thing to add would be to connect to wifi prior to entering the chromeOS shell as you need to download a script. I've done this twice now on my chromebook, starting after the below from "Step 1": Quote:

Update #17 - Each time I reload Ubuntu I find something I missed in the OP. Couple things:
The <Alt> key is by default (at least on my installs) the key that lets you alt+left click and drag windows around.. which obviously doesn't jive with EQ. to disable this install dconf-toolsI ran into a few issues with the script in OP as well The bit after the script which shows how to make a desktop icon is missing something crucial
The desktop icon created will NOT work if you don't right click on the script file, nav to the permissions tab and check "allow to run as executable" Vote now for "guide with the most errors on it" now!!!1
