alice-teacher Google Chrome Book

[Keith Golebie]

Dean - I installed Linux on the Chromebook this week according to the link
that was shared. That installation went well and Linux is working fine, so
I'm thinking getting Alice running should work from there. The Alice
programs are not installed yet as I'm just getting started working on that.
I could use some help with the Linux commands to setup Java and then get
Alice 2 and 3 working. Any Linux users out there able to help with this?

I don't mind sharing my email address if someone wants to contact me
directly - kgolebie at ellwood.k12.pa.us

Thanks,
Keith
