Ahhhh, yes, good point.

Just checked and the "release" version (Beta21) shows only 32 and 64 bit 
versions for Windows and Linux.  But on the pre-alpha download page, 
there is a 32-bit version (Beta22) for Raspberry Pi which of course 
would be ARM-based.  If the OP is reading this, and his Chromebook is 
ARM, perhaps that would run on it...

Geri Atricks, you copy?
