	Many people refer to "Qtopia" to describe the Sharp ROM window manager, e.g. "here is a screenshot of Qtopia". To be pedantic, although the system is collectively known as Qtopia, they should say QPE as that is the bit they are seeing. QPE runs on top of the QT Framebuffer, this is why X11 applications cannot be directly ported to the Sharp ROM.

The Sharp ROM is installed by default on all new Zaurus. It is a Linux distribution with user interface based on [http://www.trolltech.com Trolltech]'s Qtopia. As it is default most users will have experience with this ROM, if only for a short time.

This does not include the built in maintenance menus which are in fact part of the system Firmware stored on ROM.
