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.

> But does it make it a good alternative for the MS convert?
As I wrote in the article, Red Hat 8 is better than most other Linux distributions. So, if you don't want to use Windows or MacOSX, yes, go for Red Hat 8.
> Also, have you got a review on Mandrake 9.0 and how it compares to Redhat 8.0.
Mandrake was supposed to send me their distro last week, but something happened and their CEO emailed me yesterday to tell me they will send me the box next week. Then, I will write the review for Mandrake and compare with Red Hat 8. I don't know yet.
