Even without resorting to that, one could always SSH into a "proper" GNU system with an Emacs server installed; this is what I have long done on work computers (usually Windows boxes) that don't permit me to install software. There is a working SSH client in the Chrome Web Store. Other than that, I think the cause is basically hopeless; a Chromebook is a Tivoized device. -- I use grml (http://grml.org/)
