Whoa!! Have you heard of this Lycoris Linux Desktop/LX OS? I here it rocks...review link inside...

[KDOG]

I read this MSNBC article on it and am duly impressed, I might have to give it a whirl...

It is formerly called Redmond Linux and if you have the March issue of Linux Format the second CD has a copy of it.

I have used Redmond Linux and I did enjoy it. It was not my fav but well worth trying out. The install was painless.

Sounds interesting. I had Redhat 7.2 installed on my machine at home, but after I upgraded my cpu/mobo, i haven't bothered to reinstall it. I might give this one a shot. The disk is still partitioned for it.

It's decent. I prefer Mandrake for Desktop stuff, and Debian (duh) for server stuff.

<< I was then asked to confirm what the installation had discovered: that I had a 2-button mouse and a standard keyboard with Windows keys. >>




Holy cow linux now supports 2 button ps/2 mice! i'm soo there!

As far as I can see, the only problem switching to Linux is all the freaking Windows software I already own.

"While it?s installing you can choose a log-in name and password and set-up your Ethernet, modems and printer settings. Then, Lycoris lets you play Solitaire until it?s done. A nice touch."


hehe

Hmm, I have a computer I'm not doing anything with right now, maybe I'll give it a try. Of course, the download servers are all jam packed now because of this article.

How ironic... high demand for a linux distro because of an article on msnbc.

I run this on my home/ ftp server. The instalattion was very simple, and it auto detected everything I had except the onboard sound. I'm runninf this on a cheap AZZA board with a 300a celeron and 192 megs of ram. it runs fine and looks rally nice. I'll probablly end up putting 2k back on it because I don't have time to learn the ins and outs of a new os right now. I wa very impressed with the ease of use though. I am a Linux newbie and I didn't feel intimidated at all.

 

[trmiv]

Downloading it right now. I hope I am getting the right one.

Damn thing keeps timing out trying to download. I'm going to try to get it from Linuxiso.org when I get home. Maybe their server is better.
