"The ROX Desktop is a lightweight alternative to GNOME or KDE built around the ROX-Filer file manager. The project's name is an abbreviation of 'RISC OS on X'. The ROX Desktop's performance is reminiscent of IceWM, and it's noticeably faster opening programs than GNOME or KDE. However, its speed comes at the expense of a needlessly redundant default configuration, and some users may balk at some of the assumptions its design makes about how they prefer to work."

i actually like the desktop of ROX but the file manager irratates me at best. for any one out there running linux and a non KDE or Gnome window manager you should really give Endeavour2 a try. i actually prefer it to the KDE and Gnome file managers.
