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.

When the computer locked with the first test, did you try connecting to it with another computer? I have found that a lot of problems of that nature are hardware related, and thus one can telnet or ssh into the box despite inability to use the console; thus, you can perform a safe shutdown remotely if need be. Probably ineffectual, as Lycoris is a destop system and probably doesn't have telnetd or sshd.
Thank you for the article, I'm going to get it now :-)
