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.

> Red Hat 8 is not yet a viable business desktop, especially compared to Windows XP. It is getting closer, and has made great strides in the last year or two, but is still not quite there yet.
-- Am I missing someting here, or did Redhat not explicitly say they are not after the whole desktop market. For most office workers, thats the people I work with every day, Redhat would be more than they ever need.
Many office workers are not allowed to install software. I am aware of one bank where you can't even install a screensaver.
Anyway all Redhat would like is a few percentage points of the desktop market for now. That is plenty!
Check web stats. Most screens out there are on 800x600.
