Mageia Linux v. 6 with the Fluxbox window manager using the OxAR style, with the venerable xclock and GKrellM system monitor.
I installed Fluxbox Thursday night during a lull in my LUG meeting. I wanted something lighter-weight than Enlightenment (and much lighter-weight than KDE Plasma) so my batter would list longer during the meetings.
I was gratified to see how well the Mageia developers had tweaked the Fluxbox install–it generated a complete menu within seconds after start; it also picked up my Fluxbox configuration files, which were still in my home directory from I don’t remember when–probably when I copied my back up of ~/ (that means /home/[username] in Linux-speak) into the computer when I first set it up, as I don’t recall ever setting up Flux on this machine before.
I edited the menu a bit to more all the Fluxbox configuration items into their own submenu and add the direct application list beneath the “Applications” submenu.
I’ll probably tweak the menu a bit more to remove some items I never use, but so far Flux is working quite nicely.
