Lycoris Linux at ExtremeTech

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-closely-at-it dept.

Eugenia writes "Most of you probably remember Redmond Linux, the user-friendly distro that tried to duplicate the familiar WindowsXP UI feel under Linux. Well, there is no more Redmond Linux. The company recently renamed the product "Lycoris Desktop/LX". ExtremeTech features today a very favorable review of the distro, includes screenshots and information on the installation, network setup, desktop environment etc."

    OR...
    my point is, MacOS X isn't exactly a cheap alternative for x86 machines. its not exactly cheap alternative for Macs either, what is it about 100.00?
    Truth be told, I like MACS, but I can't stand zealots od any kind.
