Needless to say, the Intro classes you've been > discussing are of interest to me I was going to install Desktop LX from Lycoris for grins the other day. Looking for a distribution that was close to windows for newbies, but had the guts of Debian. However you state its based on Caldera 3.1. I was under the impression it was the old Redmond Linux based on Corel (which was based on Debian) and why I was considering an install to see if it was recommendable to others.
