Lycoris (formerly Redmond Linux) published Desktop/LX release 44 just two 
weeks ago.  It's a really nice distro for complete newbies and ex-Windows 
users.  I've been running this distro for about 2 months with no major 
problems.  It has some nice features and only the necessary applications to 
get things done.  I was able to upgrade online (cable modem) from release 43 
to 44 using an Update Wizard without a single error.  Check it out at 
www.lycoris.com and the forums at www.linuxsoftworks.org .  Enjoy...

Terry Houle...your people should give this a try.  I wouldn't mind giving a 
small into to this distro at an upcoming meeting.
