Introduction

Debian Fluxbox is a Debian Pure Blend which aims to provide a fully configured installation of Fluxbox, a light weight windows manager, out of the box. This is to provide an alternative to the standard Debian desktop of Gnome and KDE.

Fluxbox is a stacking windows manager which provides excellent handling of open application windows in the X Windows System. It is very light on system resources while still allowing a high level of configuration. Being fast with a low memory and CPU profile, it is ideally suited for thin clients in client-server environments, older computers and live CDs.

This blend will be a fully working system at install. Hardware detection is provided, the installation of Xorg and a display manager in addition to standard system and desktop configuration such as networking, sound and system notifications. Additional thought will be given to user interface and clean aesthetics.
