At the point where you are switching desktop environments you are already well into debian / slackware territory.

Except for the bit where ubuntu does regular scheduled releases.

This is why I choose Ubuntu over debian on my (3) servers. I don't want to cut myself on the bleeding edge of development but I'd prefer to stay ahead of the curve; easier when you have more frequent releases plus a good selection of PPAs.

Using fluxbox is a strong indicator that youre less more interested in the latest bells and whistles and more interested in "do things my way". I include dwm, ratpoison, awesome users in this camp as well.

`apt-get install xfce-desktop lightdm` isn't exactly what I would describe as slackware territory.
