- Boxpup, Puppy Linux with Openbox (not actively developed?)
- SimpleLinux mini (sub 90 MB version) - may also be included as alternative WM in the next EXT version (which has XFCE as default). SimpleLinux is a Malaysion distro, derived from Slackware & Slax.
- Ubuntu - generally has an out of date version, and with no Ubuntu-specific maintainer to ensure things work "out of the box".
- Slackware - Openbox exists as a "Slackbuild"[1] (SlackBuilds.org is a community supported project... A SlackBuild build script contains the build instructions and a source download link for building a particular package for your system.)
