   1 # Linux Chromium Packages
   2
   3 Some Linux distributions package up Chromium for easy installation. Please note
   4 that Chromium is not identical to Google Chrome -- see
   5 [chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md](chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md) --
   6 and that distributions may (and actually do) make their own modifications.

   8 TODO: Move away from tables.
