Red Hat Just a few weeks after the beta release of the next version of their Linux based OS, Red Hat has released 7.3.93 of their software, once again, code-named Limbo. Those of you who read my first Limbo review know that I gave it a favorable review. After downloading and installing the second beta, I had to take a few days before writing this article.

I believe what you witness, as you install and use Limbo, is the "first draft," so to speak, of a true Windows killer.

Windows killer? It takes much more than some integration, renaming and ease of use to push Linux for the desktop. For example, does Linux has a proper IDE like VS .NET? Nope.

You're 99% of the way to knocking Windows completely off of my home network. To Mandrake, Lycoris, ELX, and Xandros: the challenge is on.

The challenge is on, alright, but I doubt any of them would win. Sure, you could knock Windows out of your life, but could others get do to so? I don't think so.
