I think it should also be easy, because CipUX 2.x is runing at schools 
with Suse. CipUX 1.x  was runing on Trustix. So porting is possible, or 
we make it possible.

You can install CipUX without webinterface. You can use it from command 
line. If you found some issue wich is not secure enough for you, please 
tell me and we can find a solution to improve it.

By the way, the French team is developing a CipUX GUI in moodle. (But 
this is also a web thing ;-)

For Ubuntu know I have a question: On wich Ubuntu you are try to install 
CipUX?
