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.

May I ask which release of RH8 you're using? The final-final? Or the RC3 (Gold - Code Freeze)?
I really enjoyed this preview, and love the way you went about it. Concentrating on the workstation/desktop elements, and not the server/service stuff. After all, we're trying to find out whether this is a good MS Windows competitor.
As someone had already mentioned, about Mandrake 9, I'm really looking forward to the review as well.
