Fluxbox source can be downloaded from the main Fluxbox site, http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/. Most Linux distributions and other free Unixes also include source and binary packages of Fluxbox. When in doubt, use your latest distribution packages.
While Fluxbox is pretty easy to use and configure, chances are that at some point questions or problems turn up. A great deal of those have been answered or solved before. Therefore, before you start asking questions on the mailing lists or on the Fluxbox IRC channel, please have a look at the FAQ in Appendix B.
