however, the cripple the OS to the point that you can not use the damn thing…..and don’t say that they made it easier for normal people, Windows is not crippled as bad and neither is OS X, but normal folks use them.
I hope Xandros does a better job.

I was thinking of trying out Lycoris – could you be more specific? I’m personally looking for a consumer friendly though, so we may not have the same needs. And Xandros has extended their release date
this is the easiest to use distro out there, period. do you mean crippled because things like gcc and make aren’t installed by default? If so, they are on the third cd if you need them.
lycoris’ target customer is not a power user, and is not expected to be compiling software right from the get go. what you get is a simple to use distro with all the apps that regular joe windows users want….working and installed right from the get go.
anyone thinking of linux for the first time would be doing a diservice to themselves in not considering it.
and the community there is the best linux community on the net for new users trying to find their footing.

I tried it and it’s a good OS. Newbies doesn’t have to figure out how to configure it and it has a windows feeling to it.
who ever said that having a windows feel implies a good OS?
Just remeber that the OS is in its good features, and not the eyecandy that the GUI offers… so no matter how shiny the desktop’s icons are.. if it hangs, it’s not worth it.
