Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu The endless stream of Ubuntu derivatives just refuses to end. "Fluxbuntu is a Ubuntu-based derivative that uses FluxBox as the desktop environment. It is lightweight, swift and efficient compared to Gnome or KDE. These features makes Fluxbuntu suitable for vast range of computers, from low-end to high-end." There's a screenshot gallery as well. Laugh at me all you want, but I want a ROXbuntu. I'm not kidding. Anyone?

from what I read, this isn't going to be "Ubuntu with Flux and as the Default Environment" that would be ubsurd in my book.

I can see a reason behind Ubuntu/Kubuntu, as KDE/Gnome are IMO the leaders in Linux desktops, with the lesser/lighter DE's available via apt.

If this becomes something along the lines of like, DSLinux or Puppy, in it does away with the heavyness and gives a sharp fast system, then that would be cool. but if its Ubuntu booting into Fluxbox, then that is just a waste, IMO.

and I dig flux, I'm not a hater, I triple boot DSLinux, Fedora Core 5 and Ubuntu.
