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.

"2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)."

-- Have you ever thought that they may need to adjust things?

Your opinion, not mine. I used to have a TNT2-Ultra and it was rock solid. And this is Asus we are talking about, not cheap no-name shit.

-- I never said that, I said ALL Nvidia chip-equipped boards. The only ones I would suggest are their high end Quadro. Admitingly, I am pissed off at Matrox for stuffing around and not making some drivers for Parphilia before it was released. The ones now they have available are shit. If they can't provide a driver for X, then they should simply close up shop, and give up producing video cards, because obviously they have no intention of serving customers.

>Stop moaning about usability

NEVER.

-- And what is that meant to achieve? I gave up on that issue years ago. No matter what you do, people will be bloody morons. Simple as that. I would go so far so say that there should be a license so that only those who have a bloody clue can use a computer. In an organisation, have a "wacker" that goes around, those who do something stupid, wack then around the head with a rolled up newspaper. I think after several hits, they'll get the message to stop doing stupid things.
