it seems that you need to pay for it, although http://www.linuxiso.org (http://www.linuxiso.org) has a link for the iso.

I just installed Lycoris and found it quit user friendly. It does not give you many options though to choose some so you are really kinda stuck with what you first install. Also i found out that it did not apperently have gcc which is a bad thing. I would recomend it to someone that wants a nice easy transition from windows to linux and also someone that has good hardware.

Lycoris used to be called "Redmond Linux."

Also, someone on some French mailing list said that it was originally made by a few ex-Microsofties. HEhehe.
