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.

"49% still using W98, only 10% using XP....WHY?
Because XP got rid of the DOS Box, so you couldn't use command line anymore, which even MS users wanted!
Whatever happened to an expert setting up the Linux box as a desk-top so that the user only had to USE it. You buy a car set-up, not in a box to take home and assemble, imagine if you had to install the engine in your car to use it?"
I nearly choked on my lunch when I read this... the shear stupidity!
It's absolutely NOTHING to do with the command line. Are you a comedian?
Try the cost, the fact that it's more difficult to pirate, the fact that you need an uber PC to run it whilst you can use 98 on the computer you bought 4 years ago. Most people haven't upgraded because they have no reason that warrants the extra expenditure.
I hate it when people talk such shit. The worrying thing is, that it encourages other people to believe it.
