Redmond, WA - March 5st, 2002 --  February was a month of rapid

terms of account management and support has enabled me to put
my money, time and efforts into a product I believe in, because
it's capable of being believed-in by others," states Mel
McWeeny, Founder of The Little Linux Factory.

Recent favorable reviews by independent sources have rocketed
Lycoris Desktop/LX to the forefront of the Linux desktop world.
