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.

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.Mmmh I'm thirsty.
I don't think you should drink that. It looks bad for you.
Nonsense, it makes me feel great, smarter, more agressive. . . . I feel like I could . . . like I could . . .
TAKE OVER THE WORLD !!!

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.
