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 would like to point out one more time that the "nvidia" driver is just not stable. I am running Debian Woody with a GeForce3 ti500 running 1280x1024@120?Hz. It seems to me that RedHat made the right decision to not include unstable drivers with its release.
RedHat can't force nVidia to make a better driver for linux, because there isn't a big market for 3D on linux. And there won't be until RedHat can support it stabley.
catch 22
