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.

I like Eugenia's reviews because she always puts what's being reviewed in the hot seat as to how the product stacks up *right now*, with today's hardware, etc. Very nice review and tremendous screenshots!
I haven't used Redhat for years...I realized it was server software...and have used SuSE extensively and the newbie distros in particular. It sounds like RH 8 has some gaps to fill in. But, this version has really caught my attention and I'm going to get it and take a look-see. My God, I've got to make room for this, SuSE 8.1 and who knows what next :-). Anyway, desktop Linux is getting there, step by step, inch by inch. Yet, perhaps the real question is X. What to do about X? I have to admit, I don't know.
