Ubuntu with Fluxbox
Filed under:
have just become aware of yet another Ubuntu-based distribution (Kubuntu and Edubuntu aside). It is currently using the codebase from version 5 to form a derivative. This distribution, which is called nUbuntu, features the beautiful Fluxbox, which is probably the most attractive window manager among Enlightenment, Matacity, WindowMaker and Sawfish in GNOME (KDE uses kwin).
MEPIS have recently made bold move to become a Ubuntu derivative rather than a Debian derivative. Debian is, of course, the father of Ubuntu. It seems apparent from recent surveys that Debian-type distributions outnumber Red Hat- and SuSE-based distributions. Google continue to use Ubuntu in-house, even on the desktop. They call it Goobuntu.

Vivek, Ubuntu was built to become a one-CD distribution, but I don’t know of any inflated derivative or variation of it. You can always use Synaptic to get GCC and XMMS (as I once did) to make XMMS and its many splendid plug-ins available. The main distribution that I use at the moment is SuSE, which is bloated and spans 5 CD’s. All in all, I do recommend SuSE or OpenSuSE only if bloat/size suits your needs.
