Fluxbuntu

Fluxbuntu is a lightweight Linux distribution which uses the Fluxbox window manager and is based on Ubuntu, but is not an official fork. By contrast, Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses Xfce, all of which are somewhat more demanding of computer memory and resources. Fluxbuntu is designed to be versatile, while minimizing the need of system resources.

Default packages

As well as using the Fluxbox window manager, Fluxbuntu excludes many applications and daemons from Ubuntu which makes it even more lightweight. It also replaces a large number of Ubuntu's default applications with lightweight alternatives:

• AbiWord and Gnumeric replace OpenOffice.org as the default office programs
• Kazehakase replaces Mozilla Firefox as the default Web browser
• Claws Mail replaces Evolution as the default e-mail client
