I thought about posting this in the testing thread but it's been a while!
A friend got me looking at lighter weight desktops and I'd hoped to properly test Fluxbuntu but I can't get a desktop with Fluxbox that allows my visual acuity to even see what the hell I'm looking at.
Anyway I tested the the latest script with Crunchbang 8.10.2:
lance@lance-desktop:~$ ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox
Welcome to the Ubuntuzilla Firefox script version 4.6.1
Ubuntuzilla is built only for Ubuntu Linux and other distributions derived from Ubuntu (such as Linux Mint, e.g.)
This script will now install the latest release of the official Mozilla build of Firefox on your Linux system. If you run into any problems using this script, or have feature requests, suggestions, or general comments, please visit our website at http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/

No problems! And it's installed to the hard drive! Very cool!
Thought you'd like to know!
I hope I can figure out how to get a Fluxbuntu resolution I can actually see!
