Red Hat Gentoo, Lindows and Lycoris arguably were the big surprises of the year in the Linux land, but everyone is waiting the release of Red Hat 8.0 with, possibly, the biggest anticipation ever for a Linux distribution. Since Red Hat posted the Limbo and Null betas, fans of the most popular distribution on earth were making waves and even called this new version a Windows killer. Does this really hold up though? Will Red Hat be successful on their quest to infiltrate the business workstation/destkop market? Read more to find out and view some of the high resolution screenshots we have for you! UPDATE: Red Hat 8 is out! ZDNews has an article about the new release of Red Hat 8.0.

Can't open the png files with winblows.

I suspect you mean with IE for Windows, right? If I were to says "Linbows because lynx won't show me the PNGs," I think people would jump on it.

My prediction: Red Hat 8 won't make it big on the desktop because PalmSource will release BeOS R6 and that will take over 30% of the market within 18 months. All OBOS developers will instead add enhancements to this R6, and within two years we will have a system with every major capability and application that anyone could possibly want. You with me, YC?
