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 tried this distro (normally use debian sid) in hopes of having an easy to use distro for the rellys but gave up on it due to the lack of some of the more decent apps. If they included abiword,evolution, galeon, gnumeric,gthumb, eroaster, audiogalaxy (with a custom setup script like debian) ogle, and some of the other brilliant gnome apps (they included the gimp and gftp didn't they ?). They could then setup a qtish theme for them so they don't look out of place and "POP" a user friendly & USEFULL distro.
Debian SID rocks anyhows
