* 'ROX Desktop Provides Light, Quirky Alternative to GNOME, KDE'
posted by Thom Holwerda on Wed 7th Feb 2007 19:57 UTC, submitted by Dolores Parker
Icon"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."
