What is Cub Linux?

Cub Linux (formerly Chromixium) is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that attempts to recreate the look and feel and functionality of Google's Chrome OS on a conventional desktop. It combines the Openbox window manager with the Compton desktop compositor, Plank dock and LXDE's LXPanel to provide the desktop and menus. The Chromium web browser, equipped with the PepperFlash plugin, is the main online application, although the complete array of Ubuntu software can be easily added for offline/desktop use. Ubuntu updates are installed automatically, providing long-term security support. Cub Linux's tagline is "Cub = Chromium + Ubuntu".
