I agree with Peter on two fronts:
1. Fluxbox is my preferred Window Manager for Linux, bar none. GNOME’s metacity and KDE’s kwm tend to get crabby when you use KDE apps in GNOME or vice versa, but fluxbox handles those situations quite well.
2. Conky + Fluxbox = awesome. If you’re on a laptop and are using Fluxbox without an underlying Desktop Environment, add qbat and wicd for battery and wifi management/applets.

On an amusing tangent, my dad’s name is Peter.

Perfect for a clean desktop that is uncluttered and very fast!

I use fluxbox on all my Linux systems and I am more productive.

A good eye candy combination includes conky and adesklets.
