Star World's First Review of Red Hat 8.0-Psyche
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 30th Sep 2002 01:10 UTC
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.

What about "security" stuff?

Thanks for the review Eugenia. Jealousy doesn't permit me much empathy for your grief with the big monitor, but you make fair points.

Just wondering about defaults regarding basic security things (open ports, services defaulted "on", etc). Did RH add any "hardening" tools or do we still have to do everything by hand?
