So, you can easily extract files from the .deb package, copy them to your chromebook and execute them.

No shell, no utilities, no package manager ala apt-get. It boots directly into Chrome and that is the only application that is permitted to run on it. Any "apps" must be written as Chrome extensions and have very limited ability to run directly on the kernel. Google intends everything to be written in HTML5/Javascript. I won't even mention how Google reads almost everything to serve you "better ads." -- Bill Meahan, Westland, Michigan "For every problem there is a solution which is simple, clean -- and wrong." H.
