I tried out ROX for quite a while some time back. I was pretty impressed, but it seems to me that you just can't run a whole OS that way. GoboLinux is a much more fundamental shift than ROX. I may be getting it all wrong, but I don't think ROX has anything like Recipes, or the very powerful command-line tools that GoboLinux has. I don't think ROX has any illusions of packaging KDE in an AppDir, for instance, or even GCC. I am, however, a huge admirer of the principles behind ROX, most of which come from RISC OS. The latter has a very strong concept of drag-n-drop and other features that I would consider highly usable, but that's something I hope to take to the KDE team in due course, but is somewhat out of place here I think :p
As a final point concerning ROX, I'm afraid I'm a Qt fan, whereas ROX is GTK+ through and through :D Paul
