Just took a quick look at the RC1 for Mint's Fluxbox edition announced today in Slashdot, looks pretty nice. Might give us some ideas...

I already tried it. It is not all that it is cracked up to be. When uninstalling programs the name of the program remained in the menu. Their claim is that it it a piece of cake to remove programs. Not so. I removed their email program and the name remained in the menu. All in all it does need work. Stick with Antix.
