Hi, I have Fluxbox running now. This is what BB would have been if it had been actively developed. I like it. I would like to know if we are going to see two parallel projects here, or if actually Fluxbox is going to end up becoming the continuation of Blackbox.
And I guess Fluxbox will be off topic on this list? :) On Wed, 07 Nov 2001 23:01:21 -0800 Justin Rebelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: |Blackbox is not being currently developed.
