I would assume they do.

Get Fedora or any of the many Linux distro burned to flash drive or Live cd/dvd.

Yea I'm planning on doing that, I honestly don't think a Chromebook was a wise decision for me to get simply because it seems to be super limited as it is a OS based off of a browser (a browser that I honestly hate). Most net books don't have a cd/dvd drive but USB slots they generally do have.

I've found some computers act better with some versions so you may have to try a few to find a good fit

I'm not sure how a linux OS will work on it.
You would need a USB drive with the Fedora on it or any other Linux distro.

Oh,
Here are some preistalled on USB or flash cards - but you should explore more places to make sure it will work on/with the chrome book.

I didn't change my Win 7 OS laptop to install Linux until the warranty had expired on the machine.
Okay, thanks mate! Yea I've asked around a few places trying to get this figured out. I really like Fedora as a distro, and find it completely useful in regards to how I run just about everything I need without having to make a Virtual OS.

Thanks for your help so far mate, when it all gets done I'll definitely let you know how this turns out
