Lycoris - Linux for the Masses?
Dejected @Work writes "MSNBC.com, a definitely sketchy source of Linux information, just came out with an article "Linux for the Masses" about the ease of installing Lycoris(formerly Redmond Linux) on the desktop. The author even concluded you can 'fall in love with an ever-easier-to-use operating system.' It sounds like great news but am I missing something?" Several favorable reviews of this distro recently. It looks like all you have to do to get the reviewers on your side is to let them play solitaire during the install. :) Update: 04/13 14:53 GMT by T : Eric Krout also suggests the two-part review (part one and part two) over on monolinux.
As an end user, I definatly prefer OSX over any Linux distro. Its easy to use, powerful, and best of all.. the interface is amazing. KDE, even in its latest stages still looks like an amatur piece of trash made by some 9th grader. Flame me all you want, but Aqua is leagues above that. Not to mention the support by 3rd parties. Office... Photoshop 7 and Illustrator.. truely amazing. Oh and best of all, OSX is powered by BSD which in many people's eyes is the real UNIX core. I'll take BSD over Linux anyday.
