Chrome OS and XFCE4?

[Al Bokolor]

Hello - I am a COMPLETE NEWBIE to Linux and want to learn how to use it.  I successfully installed XFCE4 to run with Chrome OS on my Chromebook. Once I did this, I surfed around the XFCE4 desktop and it looked and worked great!  Couldn't wait to begin to learn how to use a little Linux.  I went ahead and rebooted and CHROME OS comes back up.  When I select CTR-ALT-T to go to the crosh shell and then type one of the two commands to get back into XFCE4, neither work??  I keep getting "ERROR:  unknown command".  The two line commands I am using are:  enter-chroot and sudo startxfce4.  Is there another shell I need to be in?  Do I need to go to another dir in the crosh shell and then type these two lines in?  Are there complete other steps I should be doing?  All tips/help are greatly appreciated!  Thanks . . .
