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.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say. The XFree86 guys are trying to work with some totally undocumented hardware made by a company that is actively hostile to releasing the specs for it. Now, despite that, it is still slightly faster in 2D than the nvidia driver itself. Sure, constructive criticism is in order, but throwing it in a river is just a bit much...
