Fluxbuntu is an upcoming "lightweight" Linux distribution to be based on Ubuntu, version 7.04 "Feisty Fawn", that uses Fluxbox for window manager (or desktop environment).

By contrast, Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses Xfce, all of which are thought to be somewhat more unwieldy (viz, larger and slower).

As well as using the Fluxbox window manager Fluxbuntu has removed "many packages and daemons" from Ubuntu which makes it even more lightweight. It also has an emphasis on lightweight applications.
