Fluxbuntu? Alternatively, take an Ubuntu install, remove the Gnome packages and install Fluxbox.

Hmmph, apologies, it looks like a dead project. I think your best bet is to install fluxbox to Ubuntu and then strip away the Gnome desktop - maybe just leave the base libraries for compatibility.

I'm back!! Xubuntu is at 9.04 and looks like what you are after. It uses XFCE rather than Fluxbox, but it is still lightweight and if you really need Flux you could install it over the top.
