Pre-release

This is the release candidate (RC) of Cub Linux version 1.0 (previously Chromixium OS)

Now released for 32 and 64 bit. Please use 64 bit for EFI and secure boot systems. Use 32 bit for low RAM and 32 bit only processors. Google Chrome and Adobe Flash are only available in the 64 bit image.

The testing period is short as the deadline for the discontinuation of Chromixium OS is 31 March 2016.

Please feed back all issues either here, clearly marked as "RC Testing"

Please verify the checksums and digital signatures before using:

  1. Download the signing key from the public key server:

    $ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys DC4B837E
    gpg: key DC4B837E: public key "Cub Linux ISO Signing Key (RichJack) <contact@cublinux.com>" imported
    gpg: Total number processed: 1
    gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
    
  2. Download the .sig files for the ISO and SHA256SUM.

  3. Verify the ISO

    $ gpg --verify CubLinux-1.0RC-amd64.iso.sig CubLinux-1.0RC-amd64.iso
    gpg: Signature made Fri 18 Mar 2016 21:34:55 GMT using RSA key ID DC4B837E
    gpg: Good signature from "Cub Linux ISO Signing Key (RichJack) <contact@cublinux.com>"
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: AB28 BE7B 6263 1EAB 51E0  CBB1 6776 5159 DC4B 837E
    
  4. Verify the SHA256SUM file in the same way:

    $ gpg --verify CubLinux-1.0RC-amd64.iso.sha256sum.sig CubLinux-1.0RC-amd64.iso.sha256sum
    
  5. Verify the ISO file against the SHA256SUM:

    $ sha256sum CubLinux-1.0RC-amd64.iso
