Thank you, Brian.

Well, following Brian's lead, I've now learnt (to my regret!) the
importance of the term "kernel" (plus, the Chromebook term "channels")
because, the Linux capability of any particular Chromebook depends on the
Linux kernel version number -- currently 4.4 for Linux-on-Chrome, and with "no
plans to support Linux 3.14 or older
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/containers_and_vms.md#Hardware-Requirements>
".

Fingers crossed for an update (and soon!) of Linux-on-Chrome, to verify
whether or not LC can run on my newish-model-but-3.18-kernel-hamstrung
Chromebook...
