The darn thing is working like a charm....
I had the impression that Kanotix was dead/abandoned something like this, as various sources like distrowatch does not mention the 2014 - or later- builds of it, in fact there are fresh nightly builds!
I bit the bullet killed again my latest installation of linux on my chromebook and installed the (nightly) Kanotix Spitfire 2015 KDE x64.
It was nice to see that the most of the packages are not old, eg Libreoffice is v4.4.0.3, kernel 3.18.0 (not the latest, but more recent than the 3.16xx that some debian-based distros are using), so far so good -just a couple of hours lol- the chromebook boots very quick to the KDE desktop.
Update (18/2)
It seems that the Kanotix is under constant development.. I had some issues like freezes while the shutdown and screen artifacts on the screen. Never mind, its a nice distro, but not for everyday use!
