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.

Next contender: Lindows

Let's see what you guys have to offer.

BTW, I'm not knocking Lycoris. I'm still excited about running this distro. I'm just predicting that the next meeting of the bug-eyed flock will take place at Lindows.com.

Also, I've been thinking about trying to put together a distro that's the complete opposite of this one. I want one that looks as far from windows as possible. I figured I'd use Windowmaker(without Gnome) and through together an ala carte office suite(or just stop being silly and install OpenOffice). Stuff like that. Who else is feeling antsy?!
