I have tried gnome, xcfe but not yet tried flux.
I downloaded fluxbuntu but I didnt realize it wasnt a live cd and I need to test it b4 I use it.
So I looked at fluxbox but couldnt find the iso file!?
So my question is how can I try flux?
Should I download the linux mint flux? And is it a live cd?
And is flux a lot faster than xubuntu? I tried xubuntu on my machine and for me it was about 4 times faster than ubuntu.

I know it works fine but flux is faster than xubuntu and xubuntu is faster than ubuntu and this is a 10 year old computer we are talking about here.

Is anyone actually going to answer?
Can I make a live cd of fluxbox? Or linux mint flux?

You can, the same way you do with any OS.
Press F12 when you first turn on the computer, and scroll down to the one about the CD. I think it's the third one.

Well, you can't make a live CD of Fluxbox, because Fluxbox isn't an operating system, is a window manager. But you can find a live CD of a distro that includes Fluxbox, and use it that way.

Yeah, that.
Cohen, I'm hoping you mean an OS with fluxbox. You might open up some black holes or something if you try otherwise.

Well I decided to stick with good old ubuntu but since it a little slow I might put xubuntu over it.
So if I put fluxbox over ubuntu it will look like fluxbuntu?

Essentially, yeah: Ubuntu + Flux - GNOME = Fluxbuntu. But you can take Ubuntu (with Gnome, by default), install Fluxbox using apt-get or whatever the hell package manager Ubuntu uses, and then just use Flux. (You could even proceed to remove Gnome, but that's not necessary.)
That's kind of why all the different variations of Ubuntu are kind of dumb: You can easily get the equivalent of Kubuntu by installing KDE in Ubuntu, Xubuntu by installing Xfce in Ubuntu, &c. But I digress.
