It is essentially a wrapper to run the Chrome browser and not a lot else. You can get to a command prompt, however, by pressing CTRL-ALT-T. From there you can run xterm (if you don't like the default white-on-black terminal), run vi (the only editor installed by default) and do command-level system maintenance. Beyond that it is entirely up to your own resourcefulness as far as installing other programs. I haven't tried, but I have a feeling it would be an exercise in frustration. If you want a full-blown Linux distro, loaded and ready to go for your netbook I can highly recommend <a href="http://eeebuntu.org/" rel="nofollow">Eeebuntu</a> using the Netbook Remix interface.

It was just a sort of GUI version of linux or something. .
