I have Fluxbox installed here as well.  I use it for a backup GUI.  I 
can open Seamonkey and some other programs in it.  I mostly wanted 
something that if KDE died, I could get to the mailing lists or the 
forums and get help in a easy way.

KDE is big tho.  I also like KDE.  I tried Gnome but it just wasn't my 
thing.  Fluxbox as a backup is nice tho.  It is surely fast on this 4 
core 3.2Ghz with 8Gbs of ram rig.  To say it flies is putting it mild.  lol

For those keeping up, DHL got the new memory to Memphis.  It has been 
sitting at the post office since Monday.  I'm hoping it will show up 
today but it says next week on the website.  Time to drag out my bicycle 
again.  lol
