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.

if you want M$windows buy M$windows

I'm sick and tired of those who insist on comparing
everything with M$windows as if that was the end-all
of usability.
I am not a geek by any means, but at the moment I'm using Mandrake 8.1 and I find easier to use than any version
of windows that I ever tried.
when you install any version of Linux you know that's
what you are installing, if you don't like it by all means go
give mr. Gates a few bucks and quit your bellyaching.
