I'd just been given a Nook HD for christmas. Unfortunately, like my chromebook when I don't have linux running on it the thing doesn't wantto connect to the nternet.

Local network has wpa2 security and windows connects fine, I had an android 2.0 device htat connected fine. Linux seems to like takingit's time (a minute or ten depending on day of the week, humidity, etc) but is stable otherwise.

This thing gives me a limited or no connectivity error and I'm sorely tempted to just yank the router, buy a new one, and hope the whole thing's hardware related because fiddling with settings didn't work on my chromebook Pessemistic on it workin now but after I call in and get the password (again.)

It'll ping every few times, then no response on a run of five to a dozen pings, then some responses, then nothing.

Can't do anything with the router at the moment due to relatvies invading.

Install windows on the CR48 and it connects rock solid.

Install linux, regardless of distro, it'll take a bit to connect then it's pretty solid until it's on battery power then after awhile it disconnects and requires a full shutdown and restart before it connects (on disconnect it acts as if there is nothing to connect to.)

On chrome OS it'll ping for a little bit, then no response for a bit, then ping, then nothing.

Could this be an issue with the router? I'd say hardware failure but the 'smart' t

See title for question. It's just the rest of the specs seem like the screen is the big big huge giant reason the thing costs as much as it does. I want one, but less because of the screen (though that's nice too) but more the minimalistic branding, and the fact you can crouton into more than chromeOS on things that need it.

Plus it comes with a bigger SSD than your average chromebook.

So I was one of the Pilots that got a free chromebook way back. Between the development of Crouton and the better processors on the market I feel you really can have a best of both worlds scenerio.

Trouble is I've been fairly broke with thing after thing after thing keeping 'loose' income a bit of a myth that I'd catch out of the corner of my eye but never really see. I do want ot get something a bit better and granted I'd really really like a pixel and just put ubuntu on it if I had that kind of money I'd have a few other things taken care of so setting sights a bit lower.

I realize the HP-11 is an ARM based device and I haven't any real experiance with linux on arm, so don't know what'
