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.)

  5. To the FUCKTARD that tried to take over my account by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You thought you could take my account over, didn't you? You took advantage of my kind offer to put this account in the public domain.

    Guess what, retard? You didn't enter my Yahoo account and take it over (which, BTW, also had the password 'Slashdot'). So it was easy for me to reclaim my account.

    You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down the evolutionary chain at you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.

    And what meaning do you expect your delusional self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?

    You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meat slapper.

    On a good day you are a half-wit. You remind me of drool. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wall paper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.

    You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofer sod. Bugger off pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit.You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup patting naff. You gob kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.

    You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and wish you would go away.

    I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock hard stupid. Dehydrated rock hard stupid. So stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed in on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot midday sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride you ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of your drivel. Duh.

    The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well ... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative flame was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective ... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us normal people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known that this was your case then I would never have read your mail. It just wouldn't have been right. Sort of like parking in a handicapped space.

    I wish you the best of luck in the emotional and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.

    The present government was created in theory to function along the lines of Plato's Republic

    This isn't even remotely close to the truth. If you had actually read Plato's Republic, this would be obvious to you. The USA was created to function along the lines of the political philosophy of John Locke. In fact much of the american constitution and bill of rights was directly quoted from Locke.

    I've been tweaking my redhat 8.0 install to boot in something like 15 seconds. kudzu, dhcp and gnome were the biggest offenders here and I haven't even compiled a new kernel yet. I was surprised at how fast X can go with WindowMaker instead of the 'Desktop Environment's.

    Is there a distribution that's meant to be fast instead of bloated? Just because something's user friendly doesn't mean it can't also be minimilast, BeOS was good for that. With a few config utils and only the best apps (OOo, konquerer/pheonix, ximian) there could be a really cool dist the size and speed of a fresh win98 install without the part about it sucking.
