Just noticed an article at Slashdot [4] about a ROX Desktop Update [5].

There are a fair number of comments from people who seem to like it as well.
Quote from the article

More than two years since the ROX desktop (a desktop based around the filesystem) was last mentioned on slashdot, the second stable branch of the central ROX-Filer component has just been released. It's still pretty light and fast, despite all the changes, and integrates well with other desktops too.

Note: ROX Desktop is a desktop based around a filer - the RISC OS [6] filer!

Shame somebody thought it was taken from the Mac until someone pointed him in the correct direction.

Also it was interesting to note that another poster felt ROX on his P200MMX Linux box was faster than winXP on a dual processor 2Ghz box.
