A new version of Linux Mint 8 has been released. This time including the popular streamlined window manager, Fluxbox as it's main desktop environment.
From the release announcement:
This release has been built with the emphasis on a lightweight and yet fully functional desktop centered on the Fluxbox window manager.
The Fluxbox Community Edition produced releases for Linux Mint 5 “Elyssa” and Linux Mint 6 “Felicia” and it became quite popular among Linux Mint users. But in 2009, due to personal circumstances Shane Joe Lazar, the maintainer of this edition, had to focus his attention elsewhere and so the Fluxbox CE was discontinued.
Don't know if it's already mentioned here: Linux Mint released a new fluxbox edition. It looks really nice, has tint2, and the shiki theme for fluxbox is awesome (the other themes are bad). www.linuxmint.comTuna.
