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.

When you are in need, you DO the adjustments, even if they are not the best solution. This is not a perfect world we are living in, engineers have to make such adjustments all the time in their code. This is not a cmedia sound chip we are talking about, it is the driver for the mostly used cards in the world. The companies should also counter-balancing their options and their actions if they want to keep customers happy, even if their engineers might not like it.
