Fluxbox is a window manager with some nice features. The most distinctive thing about it is the way you can merge windows together with a tabbed title bar, I think that feature is unique though I may be wrong.It has a dock called the Slit which will run WindowMaker applets. It also has the standard stuff like multiple desktops, menus and such. It does miss some things though, while it has a dock there are no applets running as default and you have to manually add stuff like a file browser and all the default software (i.e. it is a window manager).Right now, this is what I'm using on my Debian Lenny install. I've got it set up with iDesk and Conky and I'm using the KMix applet (you can run normal applets as well) to handle volume. Works nicely, loads very quick and doesn't waste too many resources.
It's nice to see screenshots to see what it is capable of. I personally like to browse screenshots of other people's desktops to see if someone else has come up with a way of doing something that I like and that I could try to implement on my own desktop. No need to attack digitallysick for asking a simple question. I would also like to see more screenshots of 1.0.
