• Zero Install removes the need to install anything, letting you run software (typically packaged in application directories) directly from the author’s site, including all dependant libraries. Caching makes this as fast as running software normally, but is much easier. • GoboLinux organises its filesystem into package directories, and these are easily turned into ROX applications. • RoxOS (in the early planning stages) aims to use ROX applications for everything. • LinuxSTEP is trying to achieve something similar, but not based on ROX. It is no longer under development.
