lastfm client for ubuntu
This is a slightly older version, but at least it works. After trying the latest beta, and even the svn version, I was unable to get lastfm working on dapper. Then, i found this repo. Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://hassers.fi/ubuntu dapper lastfm

You will need to import his key for authentication before installing. Instructions for adding key can be found here.

pcmanfm ubuntu repo
There is now an ubuntu repo for the tabbed file manager pcmanfm. I will stop re-packaging pcmanfm, as long as this repo stays up to date. Add one of these linues, depending on your architecture, to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://cle.linux.org.tw/candyz/Ubuntu i386/

deb http://cle.linux.org.tw/candyz/Ubuntu ppc/

Latest and greatest fluxbox for ubuntu (1.0rc2)
fluxbox rocks, but the version that comes with ubuntu is behind the times. Download the latest ubuntu deb package here fluxbox_1.0rc2-1_i386.deb. Link to download page http://lottalinuxlinks.com/fluxbox/ is on the right.

This is really the same version I packaged earlier; this time though I included imlib2 support (for png icon support). I also correctly built the package this time so that the name doesn't include the version number, i.e. the old package I made would require uninstalling this way sudo dpkg -r sudo dpkg -r fluxbox-1.0rc2. This package will just install the program as fluxbox, not fluxbox-1.0rc2. Not to be confusing, this will still install fluxbox-1.0rc2-1, but it will include imlib2 support, as well as be properly named. So, if you installed the version I packaged last month, you can either leave it installed, and live without png icons, or you can uninstall it with sudo dpkg -r sudo dpkg -r fluxbox-1.0rc2, and then install this version.

To retain gnome theme settings in fluxbox, place the following in your ~/.fluxbox/startup file somewhere before the line that starts fluxbox:
