Red Hat 8.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the pink-tie-linux-available-at-your-local-cheap-CD-reseller dept.

I_am_Rambi writes "RedHat has released their latest OS, 8.0. Here is Red Hat's ftp site for download and some mirrors. If you need help there's a Howto." Jeet81 adds: "Red Hat is out with a new release, Red Hat 8.0. Looks like Red Hat is moving towards the windows XP style using its new Bluecurve graphical interface (the new default email client 'Ximian Evolution' looks a lot like MS Outlook)." So what's the verdict on Null or Bluecurve or whatever it's called? Good idea, bad idea?

    Windows 95 interface isn't intuitive</quote>

    Reminds me of when I first saw the "start" button. Why would anyone click on the "start" button when the box is already running? Counter-intuitive - unless you're a woman - they seem to like trying to start cars that are already running (cue sound of gears grinding).
