I was thinking this myself... I HAVE played with it, when it was still RedmondLinux beta (build 36, I think, was my last install). IIRC, Lycoris, while it started out life based on Sybil, I believe is currently based on eWorkstation 3.1. My recollection of it is that it was extremely dumbed-down. the K-Meno had apps listed like, Write a Letter, Read E-Mail, instead of KWord and KMail. They were supposed to come out with a Professional version, which was supposed to be more geek-oriented, but I don't know how far that's come along. I spent a little time at Lycoris.com, and lycoris.org and it looks like they have a beta version available (Build 45). Perhaps it'd be a good article for LinuxAndMain... Perhaps I'll even install it (once I get grub and/or lilo installed properly on my system -- my menu.lst file is located on the partition that houses my no longer used eDesktop2.4 installation and I need to move it off of there so that I can start "playing" with distro's again... I'm having difficulty creating a boot disk, though -- but I digfress, and besides, that's a subject for another thread) > > suppose a recipe for this could be cooked up? > > Yup.
