RISC OS 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.

It should be Risc/Linux I will not reply to further comments except to people who use the term Risc/Linux not Linux.

Write a greasemonkey script to rename that for you, and then grow up.

I've a feeling your sarcasm detector is somewhat off, either that or this place has actually become Slashdot in the past few days.
