102736 2002-12-02 20:14:00 I saw the link to http://www.lycoris.com in another thread, and it looks so nice, i found it hard to stop druling :p

Is there anywhere locally that'll sell me a copy of it, and what are the liscencing requirements for this, as it doesnt look like I can install it o every PC I can get my hands on.

Any more info on it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

102737 2002-12-03 00:15:00 Try Copyleft (http://www.copyleft.co.nz) mikebartnz (21)
102738 2002-12-03 01:51:00 If it's Linux you can install it on as many computers as you like. That's the licence condition which allows people to sell Linux. What they are selling is backup and other services. It's on a cover CD of one of the Australian magazines, APC, I think.

Another source might be xsolutions (http://www.xsolutions.co.nz/).

102739 2002-12-03 02:42:00 I tried Copyleft who put me onto Dr. Floppy in AK, and neither would... XSolutions havent got back to my email, but it doesnt look like it... Anybody know any other places that might do it for me?

I'm really eager to get my hands on this in time to put it on my New PC..

Cheers

102742 2002-12-03 06:00:00 Hi Chilling - I got the October issue of APC and tried out Lycoris... I didn't like it :) it's nice looking, but that's as far as it goes - I found Mandrake easier to run than Lycoris, and many of the options to fully configure your system just aren't available.

102743 2002-12-03 08:19:00 I have the ISO image for a 1 cd version of Lycoris (as a previous posting has mentioned, it was on an APC mag), so I could burn you a copy. If you want the "official" version you may have to order it online. Lycoris is based on Open Linux by Caldera and therefore has the same configuration tools. Dolby Digital (160)
102744 2002-12-03 08:42:00 okay, that sounds good, if ya dont mind.. I'll check for a download site if its only 1 CD.. Mite be able to download it, but I'll post again tomorrow. The guy from XSolutions said they didnt have it yet, but if I joined the "mailing list" then they'd "notify" me when it was available! Chilling_Silence (9)
102745 2002-12-03 20:20:00 I forgot to mention... I like it! It looks good. Dolby Digital (160)
