Lycoris Build 71 Beckons For Your Desktop

PenguinRenegade writes "Lycoris has released a new Beta, Build 71. Lycoris is not a Linux distro for those who already know Linux, but more for the masses, for those who want to migrate from Windows, and don't really want anything to do with the command line. Lycoris Desktop/LX equipped computers are available from Wal-Mart starting at $268.00 (build 46). It's a great OS for the masses, $30 or less, $19.99 from the company if you download your own and just want the Product ID. Registered users get REAL e-mail support and full access to IRIS, an RPM-based click-to-install program base." (There's no cost to download the beta.)

    I SSH into his machine every week and build/fix/configure/backup whatever is wrong or out of date.

    This is the kind of hands off tech support I like to get from my plumber, mechanic and company IT department.
    HUH? Logging in weekly to "build/fix/configure/backup whatever is wrong" is "hands off"?

    All I'm suggesting is to put a bunch of us in the same room while we do it and place a company logo outside the door.
    My god, what a hideous hideous failure of technology. "LINUX IS GREAT (except you have to hire a bunch of geeks to log in weekly to fix it)". And we wonder why there is little mainstream desktop adoption...
