   I think I've overstated my interpretation -- or overinterpreted the   
   statements.   
      
   > ^2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxbuntu  Fluxbuntu is an upcoming   
   > "lightweight" Linux distribution to be based on Ubuntu, version 7.04   
   > "Feisty Fawn", that uses Fluxbox for window manager (or desktop   
   > environment).

   Having a feisty fluxbuntu version is /not/ the same thing as a   
   'fluxbuntu option in the upcoming feisty' and having fluxbuntu or   
   fluxbox in the repository isn't either.   
      
   Also, an ubhelp sez^1 that fluxbox is in the universal repositories, but   
   I tho't my herd4 has universal repositories and I don't see it in the   
   add/remove.   
      
   ^1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox Fluxbox - Fluxbox is in the   
   universe repositories
