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.

I think many people are missing the point here. If we all agree that Linux as a whole isn't really ready for the desktop, then using that as a starting point, Lycoris is an immense success. My belief is that it's the best desktop Linux out there - surpassing the excellent Mandrake release, the very professional Red Hat flavor, and the often bleeding edge SuSE counterpart. Lycoris, in summary, can be said to accomplish one major goal: it takes Linux A LOT closer to its eventual goal: desktop OS. A LOT closer.
