	Sorry if I posted this in a weird area Is there some way to get Unreal running on a Dell Chromebook? I'm stuck with them at school, and it'd be cool to get Unreal off a USB stick on one. Pretty sure the Chrome OS is some sorta Linix distro. Thanks! ^^

EDIT: I mean, I would be happy with it. Linux>ChromeOS anyday. I doubt the school would like dat doe

	I doubt that they would like you playing Unreal on the school equipment, almost as much as they would not like you to install a full Linux. ChromeOS records and reports everything, so if the IT department are doing their job properly they will see everything you do on it. Chrome OS is a cut-down Linux, designed as a web-box, not a full PC. You would need to add the missing parts of Linux or replace the OS. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2873561/google-just-made-it-easier-to-run-linux-o... The more limited Android OS has the advantage that people have made distros that add the missing files (BusyBox), or add a whole Linux prepared for Android (Lil’ Debi, Debian Kit) Your option is to choose a Linux distro you like and boot it from USB. The various flavours of Mint Linux are very suitable for Windows users to try as they are very complete. The out-of-the-box experience from the USB boot is very functional. However at the point you have a fully functional Linux, you may be better to emulate the Windows version.

So, what you're saying is, that, I could boot Linux off a USB stick without having to put anything onto the computer?

	Unless you intend to mess with the installed OS, it is your only option.
