Tuxreports.com says :- "During autumn, you might see beautiful flowers which are over a foot off the ground supported by a single pole. These flowers seem to pop up almost over night, and have no foliage associated with them. These plants are from the genus Lycoris and have been given the name, "Surprise Lily."
Another Lycoris is only grown in Redmond, WA. It is Lycoris Desktop/LX Linux. And it's creators hope that it propagates throughout the world, just like its namesake.

Extremetech.com says :- "I first became interested in Redmond Linux, now officially known as Lycoris Desktop/LX, back in January, when a new release of the distro was officially announced. I must admit that I wasn't expecting much more than an imitation of other distros, combined with an attempt at Windows XP graphics. To my surprise, I soon found myself using a tailored Linux operating system that was anything but that. As Joseph Cheek, CTO and founder of Lycoris Corp. stated in an interview he gave in December of last year, "Too many times people think that the answer to software usability lies in more software. We disagree with the 'This doesn't work, so let's add something else' attitude. The answer lies in making the same software more useable." I must say Lycoris has succeeded with Lycoris Desktop/LX.

Newsforge.com says :- "A small Linux distribution with big goals and a catchy name is celebrating a milestone this month, as Redmond Linux plans to release a new build by the end of August.

Redmond Linux, aimed at desktop users new to Linux, hit its code complete stage a couple of weeks ago and will go into UI freeze in a couple of weeks, says project founder and company CTO Joseph Cheek. (Editor: The Redmond Linux site was having some ISP problems Tuesday evening.) For months, technology commentators have been wondering if Linux can survive on the desktop, especially since GUI startup Eazel closed its doors in May. This month, Dell's U.S. operations announced it would stop bundling Linux on PCs, and just this week, Linux gaming company Loki Software filed for bankruptcy." go herefor more.

Linuxorbit.com says :- "Lycoris Desktop/LX has really raised the bar for simple Linux installations. What they've done for convenience however may not make an experienced Linux user happy. The number of choices you have for your configuration are limited to those needed to set up a Linux workstation. This is a distribution clearly focused at current Windows users or Linux newbies looking to get the Microsoft license monkey off their back, which is really original for Linux distributions when you think about it. With a saturated server market, Lycoris is aiming for the supposedly "dead" end-user market" go here.
