XFDOS is graphical FreeDOS distribution. It consists of a graphical desktop called SLWM combined with the FLTK based applications I ported to DOS plus other DOS applications.
This provides a desktop similar to Windows for FreeDOS. You can add just about any application to this desktop by editing a small configuration file for it. You can move and arrange the icons as you like on the desktop. I made an update of XFDOS including the new Dillo for DOS browser version now. It can be downloaded here: http://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/downloads/list XFDOS comes in two versions. One is an ISO file to be burned on a CD to provide a Live-CD of XFDOS. Or you can download a hard disk version which allows you to start (and exit) the XFDOS desktop and its applications from your hard disk. XFDOS tries to provide common desktop applications used on Windows to FreeDOS users. These applications cannot provide all the features of their counterparts on Windows but they serve the same purpose. Below is a short comparison.
