Hi, all. I possess an ARM Chromebook, and was not smart enough to get
Debian onto it using instructions from the Web, but I found I could follow
the Ubuntu-based instructions, and I successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 for
ARM on a 64GB SDXC card.
Is there a decent way to leverage Ubuntu over to Debian? Alternatively, has
anyone successfully run Debian on an ARM Chromebook, and is willing to help
me?
I have a Samsung XE303C12.
Getting root is trivial. Get it into developer mode, and Babette is your
auntie. However, I am not good enough with non-PC hardware. You can
replace the ChromeOS, set it up for dual-boot, or boot from USB (SD
card);the last is also trivial.
Any advice?

You'd probably get more help on the Debian ARM specific user list:

though I mentioned it several times. I think I am just overlooking
something. I was hoping someone here had done it, on ARM or x86.
Sincerely,
Mark
