Ubuntu 9.04 running FluxBox Options

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I've been working on this for about ten minutes, and I'm already completely satisfied with it.

I'm running Jaunty with the super light weight FluxBox desktop interface. It runs completely flawlessly, while using hardly any resources.

With Firefox and XChat running, I'm only using 184 Mb RAM, and 20% of a single core Pentium 4 @ 1400 MHz. If I try that running KDE or Gnome, I max out the CPU and go into swap.

Open terminal and type or copy/paste the following command to try it.

CODE

sudo apt-get install fluxbox

After all that terminal fun, logoff, and change sessions. Log back in, and assuming you did it right, you'll be using the greatly awesome FluxBox window manager.
