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 hate to insinuate a bias on your part. But the fact that you wrote of Red Hat: "the most popular distribution on earth" without putting it in inverted commas, as it belongs (for example, check the statistics on www.distrowatch.com - Mandrake has had higher hpd counts than Red Hat for months on end) combined with the fact that you downloaded Red Hat even before the official release to do a review, whereas you are waiting for Mandrakesoft to send you a copy of their distro to do a review, in my opinion shows that you might be slightly biased toward Red Hat. (wow, is that 1 sentence :-))
Of course i don't know what your arrangement with Mandrakesoft is regarding the review. Perhaps they would only like a review of a boxed set? BTW this is not meant as a totally negative post, i appreciate you taking the time to do reviews for your readers. Thank you.
