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.

Lycoris does not reset (cold boot) the PC
This is incorrect. A cold boot is when you turn on the PC, so all the devices are unpowered, drivers are not in spin, etc.
A warm boot is what you're talking about. All the devices are operational so it's considered warm.
