Lycoris today announced the release of Desktop/LX 1.4, the fifth release of its Linux desktop operating system. Desktop/LX 1.4, formerly known as Desktop/LX Update 4, features an enhanced desktop powered by KDE 3.2.3.

Lycoris has announced the immediate availability of Desktop/LX 1.4, the fifth release of its Linux desktop. The release is based on KDE 3.2.3, Bitstream's btX2 font rendering engine, and other new features.

Lycoris unveiled its new OS for the tablet PC, Desktop/LX Tablet Edition, into the hands of tablet manufacturers and resellers this week. Seen as a giant step into a new market for the Linux software company responsible for the award winning Desktop/LX OS, Tablet Edition gives OEMs and vertical markets access to an inexpensive operating system capable of running on the Tablet PC platform. “For example, a retailer can now opt for the less expensive Desktop/LX Tablet Edition on their tablets and save over $100 per unit on the floor,” remarks Jason Spisak, Vice President of Market Development of Lycoris,.“and that directly affects the bottom line.”
