Lycoris Linux - Has anyone tried it?
This Linux Distro looks more like Windows XP than Red Hat. I'm planning to try it out for home use. Here's the web page: http://www.lycoris.com/ . I was able to download it from: http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=26 .
I'll let you know how it is. I was wondering if anyone else has tried it yet. |

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 Last edited by Elcarion; 10-09-2002 at 09:49 AM.. |

That would be correct!
![]() GCC is included on the Dev Tools CD number 3. |
