Redmond Linux == Lycoris Desktop

It is very nice in terms of having single packages installed to do each
particular task. I haven't used it for a while, but it did have some
major problems with Supermount causing KDE to hang (!?!)

Another one, which I'm sure has been mentioned before, is Xandros, which
is built on the smoldering remains of Corel Linux.(
http://www.xandros.net/ )

Looks like a clone of Win98 to me, which, depending on your viewpoint,
may or may not be a good thing. I know many new XP users who hate it
because it's not like Win98, so it might be a nice way to tempt over the
masses  :)
