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.

No, we put networking on our home JUST last Saturday (we installed AT&T cable modem JUST last week, as we have just moved to this apartment with my husband).
And I do not expect a home user to either telnet or SSH in the box from another machine and type arcane commands to kill and reload X or battle and mess with the serial cable and debug the kernel using GDB and a bit of assembly too. Please...
I would do that if the distro I reviewed was Red Hat or TurboLinux, which aim to the server market. But Lycoris should not expect users to do such things.
