Bruce Taylor writes: Rocklyte Systems, which ANN reported as working on an Amiga GUI system earlier in the year has completed a preview of the Linux based OS. Interested users can download it from here. Features include support for draggable screens, directory assigns and a 'familiar looking file manager' is included. There's even a Windows based environment for Microsoft junkies.

In reply to Comment 6 (Henrik Mikael Kristensen):
That's not a copyright issue - it`s a patent issue. One of the Amiga patents
covers menus which drop from the top of the screen and are hidden until the
right mouse button is pressed. I can't remember the exact wording, but (like
most software patents) it's pretty specific and utterly rediculous anyway..
