13.04 server + xorg and fluxbox. I know not what this 'Unity' hate is all about. apt-get still works last I checked. You guys need to stop equating OS releases with the UI that ships with the desktop versions. 13.04 is loads better than 10.04, and it has nothing to do with whatever DE happens to ship with it. If you don't like Unity, download Xubuntu.

At the point where you are switching desktop environments you are already well into debian / slackware territory.

  Except for the bit where ubuntu does regular scheduled releases.

    This is why I choose Ubuntu over debian on my (3) servers. I don't want to cut myself on the bleeding edge of development but I'd prefer to stay ahead of the curve; easier when you have more frequent releases plus a good selection of PPAs.

      Using fluxbox is a strong indicator that youre less more interested in the latest bells and whistles and more interested in "do things my way". I include dwm, ratpoison, awesome users in this camp as well.

  `apt-get install xfce-desktop lightdm` isn't exactly what I would describe as slackware territory.

    you know xfce is present in a default slackware install? :D
