“A few minutes ago, Clement Lefebvre and the hard working
community behind the Linux Mint community announced the immediate
availability of two new editions for the Helena release: Linux Mint
8 Fluxbox and Linux Mint 8 KDE64! While the latter contains exactly
the same amount of new features like the Linux Mint 8 KDE Community
Edition, but compiled especially for 64-bit processors, such as
Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon X2 64, the
Fluxbox edition is brand-new and it is powered by Linux 2.6.31,
X.Org 7.4 and Fluxbox 1.1.1.

“This release has been built with the emphasis on a lightweight
and yet fully functional desktop centered on the Fluxbox window
manager. Even though we strive to provide out-of-the-box readiness
for all your hardware and common computing tasks, Linux Mint
Fluxbox CE is easily configurable to run on lower-spec hardware
with the tools needed for doing so readily available.” – Clement
Lefebvre said in the official announcement for Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox
CE.”
