Pressing Ctrl-Alt-T drops you into a limited shell called Crosh, which supports SSH connections. Google also has a native client SSH implementation available here, the advantage being you can load many of them into different tabs: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pnhechapfaindjhomp...

Yes. I'm not sure about normal mode but in developer mode there's a shell with SSH you can use. The shell can also run in a browser tab, so you can switch between tabs. In the new window manager you could even have different terminals open side-by-side.

I also found this two things that might be useful to you: http://ssh-chrome.sourceforge.net/ http://shiftedit.net/
I just need a browser- which chromebook has and a shell - just two things i need for everyday development.
