I'll have to check out Blackbox. Fluxbox is so compelling as a desktop, I'm even considering ditching OS X. I'll also mention that when comparing it to GNOME, I was concerned about the ability to copy and paste to and from xterm, and even tried installing eterm, kterm, and a few others before realizing you can simply select a bunch of text, then click the middle mouse button to paste it somewhere else. Cool! Thanks for commenting Ryan. I’ll have to check out Blackbox. Fluxbox is so compelling as a desktop, I’m even considering ditching OS X.

Almost zero configuration and it's sooo fast. The first thing I do when installing Debian is to make it my default window manager. I skipped Ubuntu as well for just this reason: why try to disable all the nice things in Ubuntu when it's not what you want anyway?
