Fluxbuntu

Fluxbuntu is an unoffical, lightweight Linux distribution which uses Fluxbox window manager and is based on Ubuntu. 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 both minimalist and full featured.

Default packages

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

  • AbiWord and Gnumeric replace Open Office as the default office programs
  • Kazehakase replaces Mozilla Firefox as the default Web Browser
  • Sylpheed Claws replaces Evolution as the default Mail client.
