I got this system76 meerkat because i could get financing. It comes with ubuntu 15.04 preinstalled and the website i like to watch with pipelight flash enabled works flawlessly on it. I havent had quite as good luck with debian jessie and debian testing distros. I was thinking of installing openbox and booting ubuntu into openbox but i see it isn't in the repositories and so i thought maybe linux mint still has openbox in their repos, possibly i could install linuxmint and get whatever bennies ubuntu is giving me with pipelight from linux mint and just use openbox. I know it may seem strange but i really prefer openbox.
So is openbox still in the repos for linuxmint 17.1?

Re: Openbox in mint repos?
Packages like Openbox in Mint come from the Ubuntu repos. Even if Mint had a version of Openbox it would not do you any good. Mint is using the Ubuntu 14.04 base and you are using Ubuntu 15.04.
Re: Openbox in mint repos?
openbox is available in ALL the supported ubuntu editions
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openbox
[in universe that AFAIK is not enabled by default in ubuntu]
