RE: Chromebook as a console

I will probably go with something like this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-19-45-all-in-one-amd-e1-series-4gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-black-aluminum/4650017.p?id=1219635944576&skuId=4650017
About the same cost as a chromebook

since that is the case how about a smallish laptop with a linux distro on it.
I have an ancient laptop win win98 on it for a console that I use infrequently.

I just found that Chromebook does not run java. At least not without doing some OS hacking to force it to. Not a good idea for a console.

Can you run java on it? If so it should work. Copy the IBM i Access Client Solutions .jar file on the thing and crank it up!
