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.

H.L.:A "Windows Killer" would have to be something [...]
What you just describe was a Windows clone, not a Windows killer. A Windows killer is something that has a potential to dethrone Microsoft in a relatively short amount of time (e.g. a decade, or two).
Adam Scheinberg:Yeah, I hate that first screen on the install too, but the overall process is still, I believe, overall easier than Windows.
That point is pretty mute. Most people don't have to install Windows, it comes preinstall. Plus, Red Hat isn't the most simplest OS install I have seen (neither is most other Linux distributions). Try out Mac OS X install, it is a no-brainer. Even my 7-year-old brother could do it.
