Where can rox media be got from? How far were you able to get with it?

I must say I disagree with your comparison to RISC OS. Rox has no

Gnome more and more with every iteration. Lately, they seem to be in
competition with Microsoft when it comes to forcing their preferences
for the desktop on the poor user :(
