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.

There is no doubt that the linux world has improved
in its attempts to win the desktop world,many distro's are
trying to improve there gui's altough there is a long way
until they will reach microsoft ,i believe thats its only a matter of time until linux will get its greep on the
home user and coprate user markets.
As for Beos it was a great os but unless palm will take the job seriosly (which honestly im not sure that they are able to) beos is dead and it will stay so,
Linux is used by major companies such as ibm and intel...
for devolopment ,a state that Beos was never in,i cant see any reason why any serious developer would bother messing with it since the source code isnt available,and no one suppourts it .
By the way Mandrake 9 rules these guys are improving
greatly on each release,suppourt them!
