> > > What about Lycoris? I met the Lycoris's Joe Cheek at Linuxfest 2002 in Bellingham, Wash. He showed me a few things on his Lycoris system. - the boxed set is in a DVD case; - The menus are task oriented, such as "browse the web" instead of name of application; - You can have some file manager for audio files -- you can choose to rip them to ogg vorbis or mpeg; I think you can hover over a sound file and it wil play a small part. - It included Kword which is a frame-based word processor. I was especially glad to see you can place text in one frame and then create another frame and the text will wrap into it. (Exactly what I was looking for for a long time!) - It has some icon to access windows files: it is a file manager, plus runs programs using wine (automatically); he ran a pinball program (I think comes with Windows). It looked nice and easy to use. I guess you could customize your KDE and wine to behave mostly the same. Jeremy C.
