IMPORTANT for LINUX NOOBS!!!!

[Olger901]

Hello there while surfing the internet 2 days ago I found a reallu cool Linux distro. It looks like Windows XP. And you configure the hardware like you do in XP!!! and it is really easy to use it also has a sort of windows explorer filemanager (have been using it for 2 days now soon Ill go back to my good old debian though) It is really handy for Linux N00bs. Trust me you will like it

The distro is called Lycoris: http://www.lycoris.org/download.php

Make a search for lycoris in the searchbar and various download ftps will be found!+


BTW forgot a small thing it uses both KDE and Gnome a sort of combin of it. A bit weird but still one of the best and most stable distros I have yet found.

hmm maybe i try it...
but it isn't free :(

It is downloadable for free, but there is no official support for the free version.

I think it is a good idea to offer the option to mimic the windows gui. Linux will never become widespread in the home market if they don't do that.

Is it like gnome or something?

it uses kde 2.3.3 (i think that was the version). there is a kind of "my computer" added and also a cool control panel. It looks so hard like windows xp, so that's a minus. they are to lazy to create a new design :)

Oooh, they used the words "Recycle Bin" I thought M$ had the words "Recycle Bin" and "Start" trademarked for use with an OS.
