lycoris

[Lee]

Start with the install GUI. Pure Caldera. If you didn't know that it was
Redmond you'd swear you were installing e2.4 except it does a better job
of auto detecting. Once installed the GUI bootup is Caldera except that
it says Redmond where Caldera would normally be presented. Once
installed it runs as smooth as silk although a little slow opening up
the bundled Mozilla browser. Put the boot in the mbr for a dual boot and
the boot selection screen is pure caldera.I installed it on a box that
had e2.4 on it, but there were some annoying bugs like Netscape mail
would drop out on an irregular basis when I hit Get Message. That
doesn't happen with Redmond. It has a few things in the distro that are
kind of neat. The cd burner runs straight out of the package with my
iomega burner, so does the camera photo package. And unlike 3.1 getting
the cdrom and floppy icons is not a hassle. All you have to do is drop
and drag the icons out of the My Linux icon. Built on the 2.4.14 kernel
the thing appears to be Super 2.4, but Caldera never went that way and
they missed the boat. It is nice to know that after Caldera folds there
will still be a Caldera like distro out there.
