Cheers there is some great feed back for me.

I think fluxbox maybe a bit too complex for someone as new to linux as 
myself. though the thought of it having very little memory usage is 
quite luring for me to try it and if it is easily configurable after 
installation to how i want it i may risk trying it on some unsuspecting 
persons computer.
