A chromebook runs ChromOS.  ChromOS is a version of Linux, with Google's GUI 
frontend.  I *believe* a Linux build of GnuCash should run under ChromOS.  
What I don't know is how one would install GnuCash on a chromebook.  I run an 
older version of CentOS (6) and GnuCash 2.4.15 is in the epel repo, so it is 
trivial to install with the package manager (yum/rpm).  I don't know how extra 
/ third party software is installed under ChromOS.  I don't know if there is a 
prebuilt binary for ChromOS.  There are binaries in repos for many other 
Linux distros.  If it is possible to install the build infrastructure 
(compilers, libraries, etc.) for ChromOS, it should be possible to build from 
source.
