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.

Nice review. I don't think even Redhat will claim that their new desktop is a windows killer. Windows is still much more useable on the desktop. But the linux desktop is maturing fast and making amazing progress. Judging from NULL, Redhat 8 is definitely a giant step in the right direction.
Kudos to the Redhat Team for an amazing job. I hope future releases will be much better and polished.
