== Welcome to Icebox! ==
Icebox (formerly Openbox Desktop) is a small project to make a preconfigured 
Openbox setup based upon the Ubuntu base. The goal is not to become an official 
flavor or try and replace existing Openbox based distributions.

=== Known issues ===

 * Shutdown/Restart of live session guest does not work in Virtualbox or VMWare - LP: link:http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447038[#1447038]

=== Features ===

Remember, defaults are just that, default. Feel free to remove or add as you'd like, 
and openbox-desktop is merely a metapackage thus it won't break your install to remove the package.

  * Built from the current Ubuntu release, so large repository of available
    applications.
