You may want to google to be sure but I think the command can be something like: startx <path to fluxbox> Should be /usr/bin/fluxbox. That's if you want to start it manually each time. There are others ways if you want. I think the only requirement is a working video card driver, nvidia-drivers in my case. Hope you find something you like. You are right, there are a LOT of them out there. Dale :-) :-)
I decided to follow the wiki entry for fluxbox. Simply using `exec startfluxbox` was enough to get me started.
I'm currently trying a couple terminals. xterm is pretty basic, I tried eterm based on fluxbox's recommendation (but the package in gentoo doesn't have a maintainer...) and am compiling gnusteps-apps/terminal that was recommended as a decent terminal app. That one has a few dependencies, including clang, but we'll see how it performs.
Fluxbox is so light that I'm considering using it on my mythtv frontends with a terminal that I haven't quite decided on yet as a backup in case I need to do troubleshooting.
