I'm not sure if anyone suggested this or not as I didn't read the discussion, but you could try: cd ln -s Desktop . That would make your "Desktop" directory a symlink to your home directory. The only problem being that it would show "Desktop" in it still which is a bit ugly. Maybe you could move that icon off the side of the screen :) I'd like to discuss ideas about alternative desktop / GUI interfaces. (not on the list, I guess) FWIW I feel that RISC OS on the old Acorns is by far the best GUI I've ever used. I still pine for it! What those boxes could (and still can) do with 4MB RAM an 8 or 30 MHz ARM chip and a 40Mb HDD is just phenomenal. I think I'd like to try a GUI system with more of a feel of "entering" and "leaving" things, as if rather than icons/windows we have boxes that can be opened and entered, that sort of thing... and absolutely no eye candy nor persistent menus/toolbars/icons/etc!
