[TriLUG] Hit me with your best shot

[Joseph S. Tate]

How's the touchpad support under crouton? Webcam?

File support: m4v (vs. the mp4 envelope). How about MKV? ogg? flac?
Ogg-theora?

Skype is one app already mentioned.
How about Firefox? Google's remote desktop client? Dropbox client?

What about external monitors? What kind of connection and resolution does
it support?
