Fluxbuntu - even lighter than XUbuntu?

I just found Fluxbuntu, an Ubuntu-based distribution more light-weight than XUbuntu? Take a look at the screenshots.

From the wiki:

It is a "misconception" by some that Fluxbuntu is simply Ubuntu with the addition of Fluxbox or that Fluxbuntu is designed only for older, "obsolete' hardware. Although based on Ubuntu, many packages and daemons have been removed from Fluxbuntu. Think more of an Ubuntu server install (from the Alternate CD) with Fluxbox and a few additional packages.
Fluxbuntu is designed as a "light weight" distro with an emphasis on lightweight applications. As a result of LPAE standards, Fluxbuntu is lean and efficient, giving you more CPU and RAM power for applications. Whether you are trying to breath "new life" into an older machine or running a newer CPU you will notice a performance enhancement with Fluxbuntu.

More bang for the box, that's how I like it.It appears to be early days but as soon as I come around installing VMWare on my XUbuntu I will give Fluxbuntu a go. In the meanwhile take a look at the screenshots.
