Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris Many companies tried to create a truly easy-to-use Linux distribution, but as they say in Greece "they reached the well, but weren't able to drink water". Corel, Mandrake, Lindows, Xandros, Stormix and many other distros tried or are still trying to bring Linux closer to Windows' ease of use and the millions of the desktop-oriented users. One of the new distributions that has many people impressed so far, is Lycoris (formerly known as 'Redmond Linux'). OSNews tested the latest Lycoris Desktop/LX and here is what we experienced.

the only windows that was easy to use....

was windows 3.x

man, eveything was an Icon, no stupid menues to search through, and settings could be made in the .ini files if you realy wanted to get control.

not to mention that the interface was not in your way of getting stuf done.....I hated it when we moved to win2k on the server from NT 3.5.1 Explorer was just in the way of what I wanted to do.
