# Linux Chromium Packages

Some Linux distributions package up Chromium for easy installation. Please note
that Chromium is not identical to Google Chrome -- see
[chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md](../chromium_browser_vs_google_chrome.md) --
and that distributions may (and actually do) make their own modifications.

TODO: Move away from tables.
