The RISC OS On Linux project has released the first alpha-quality version of their live CD. "A first attempt at a Live CD has been uploaded here (169MB download, a bzipped iso), the space has been kindly donated by Ned Abell. This CD should boot into a desktop with Tux on the right and disc icons for /home/rolf and /tmp, on the left of the Iconbar. In /home/rolf are three apps that should work immediately, !Terminal, !Viewer and !Vim. !NetSurf needs a little help to run, as does Inkscape, which has no application directory yet." ROLF is a user space layer above the Linux Kernel, providing a superset of the RISC OS look and feel on Linux.

I'd like to see how this progresses during Beta. My biggest worries are fundamental "Linux-isms" plaguing the design in the final product. A Linux WM with a RISC OS skin, RISC OS does not make. RISC OS is a good OS because the way it is designed from the ground up. I wish them the best in creating something that maintains the innovative and fun process behind RISC OS.
