May I suggest that you don't top-quote?
Sure, there /is/ Fluxbuntu, but it seems to be mainly an effort to
produce a version of Ubuntu for Fluxbox fans rather than anything more
directed or focussed.
But then, there are /many dozens/ of Ubuntu spinoffs now.

Many don't have a particularly close or narrow focus, they're just
Ubuntu for a particular perceived "market" or target audience.
