walymart Lycorsis/LX os??

[zoomp]

hello folks, anybody got any opinions or exper. with with the linux box and os ver available at wally mart???

[Wiggo]

Actually Lycoris is one of the first two Linux distros that I want to try, Mandrake 9.0 is the other, as its reported to be the easiest to setup plus very much like XP in looks and function. ;)

seems to be decent bargin dont know much about the cpu and mobo..i think its 800mhz via C3??? and no monitor. u get a month or two support. does anyone know how the latest distro of RH stacks against Mndrke 9 or Lycoris ? any like xp features?

I have just installed it. I am a newcomer to Linux and very much feeling my way. I have Mandrake 9 on another harddrive and Lycoris on this one. It looks like XP, it handles like XP, and it does most of what XP does. I can't use my scanner (mainly because Canon won't release the driver info) and as always I am having trouble getting the supplied burner programme to work.

I have had two 'hangs' both times while opening Mozilla. It uses the KDE interface and it is very user friendly.

Here's a screen shot... better than XP I think!

Dang, That is spooky. The only thing missing is the MSMessenger icon complaining that you have'nt created an account. :cool:

If ya rename the Messenger folder then that problem disappears. :devil win

I d/l all 4 ISO images last night for Lycoris so as soon as I get a chance I'll start buggin' some of ya's. :D

i tried lycoris out, its good i think i could get used, wine seemed to work fairly well, and my main problems i had were also with a browser, mainly the kde one not mozilla...

i been told i should have a look at latest mandrake apparantly its bertter

Yeah I got Mandrake 9.0 as well and System Commander turned up finally so I'll see how I go with 5 different oses on the old K6-3+ (most ppl can screw up well enough with 1 but I'll see if I can do better ;) ). I'm tryin' a few flavours to see what will suit certain ppl as soon I'm likely to be asked to supply PC's with some form of Linux on them. :devil:

If someone can post how to get the burner programme on Lycoris going (KonCD) I really would appreciate that.

Wiggo you'll love Mandrake 9... I have it on another drive and it's great.

[Wiggo]

Well the old K6-3+ said that it was finally time for that rebuild that I've been puttin' off for sometime now so the new server is in place and the K6-3+ is back alive naked on the shelf in the workshop here while it waits for me to mod the case a bit more then it'll be time for some multiboot madness. :D
