Wow!

Lycoris has done a great job creating a clean, easy-to-install, Windows XP-like Linux Distro. My opinion is that this is what Red Hat 8.0 was trying to be from a Windows-replacement standpoint. Overall, I'm very impressed! I'm planning to keep this for my home Linux install. I still plan to run Red Hat 8.0 at work.

Pros
-----------------
Quick, Easy, Single CD Install
Update Wizard for OS patches included
Very polished KDE config
Windows-like Control Center
Network Browser (like Network Neighborhood)
2.4.18 kernel
MP3, AIM, ICQ, IRC, RealPlayer, Wine, Xine, iptables, Grub, Gimp, OpenSSH, Adobe Acrobat, and Samba included in base install
350 RPMs in base install (I consider most Linux distros to have a severe bloat problem)
Full base install takes 833KB (whoops! that's MB)

Cons
-----------------
No Gnome in base install
(might not be a con since KDE never looked so good!)
No GCC in base (I think it's on CD #3 Dev Tools)
SoundBlaster Audigy was not installed correctly
Ximian Evolution and Red Carpet not included
