Anthony,

Thank you for your work with the project to date and good luck on your future
efforts. I believe that moving to Ubuntu is a great choice. Additionally
LinuxMint is awesome if you want to keep FluxBox.

I just wanted to let you know that I look forward to your next release and will
create a pre-installed version of the new distribution in VirtualBox and post it
to my site http://VirtualBoxImages.com in the LingusOS section
http://virtualboximages.com/node/423

Keep up the good work
