    that's who. Can you imagine your average user recompiling the kernel or some such? ha. However, I believe that it is starting to get *closer* in terms of setup, etc. I liken it to the differences between a mac and a pc. Both work, they just require different approaches to solving problems. In terms of "life" though, it's a mummy.

    can anyone explain what the hell are they selling?

    they have user licenses for sale.. for what? linux requires NO per seat licensing.. so what are they trying to pull? what is their closed/un-free add-in that brings lycoris linux into the pit?

    this one thing will make sure that I reccomend against it. as it looks like nothing but REDhat 7.3 with a KDE theme added to it to make it more XPish.

    Linux has a ZERO per seat license cost.. what the hell are they trying to charge $19.95 for?
