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.

Well, I'm pretty new to Linux. Several years of using Windows before that, beginning with Windows 95 - nothing else. I consider myself an experienced user, being capable of writing some (X)HTML and PHP.
So far, it's been great with SuSE8. I really like KDE3. It needs some polishing here and there, and Konqueror is a little bit unstable. But overall it's quite usable. I managed to find an adequate text editor (nedit - not as good as my beloved UltraEdit, but sufficient), compile and install PGP (as well as import my old key), use my TV card, run LightWave under Wine and integrate the installation into my Windows network using Samba. I surf the web with MoZilla, write my mails in KMail, paint in Gimp 1.3.7 and chat with XChat.
SuSE8 does what I want - I'm happy and thinking of tossing the Windows XP installation, or keep it only to play a game once in a while. Best of all, Linux made me think about free software. Quite an comfortable environment.
