Preview: Limbo Time (OS News)

OS News takes a look at Limbo, the latest Red Hat Linux beta. "For the most part, though, what Red Hat brings to the table is a Linux based OS that can truly compete on the desktop. Make no mistake about it - Linux is not for the average user, but it is getting closer. You still need the command line for true system performance, but almost everything can be performed from within the GUI once you learn where the controls reside. Is Limbo a Windows killer, then? For some, it may be. For some of the more experienced, it may appear to be no more than a hack target. But for the middle ground users, those who are UNIX-capable, but not experts, who are just searching for a robust, flexible but powerful, alternative desktop OS, I wouldn't hesitate to say "Hey, let's do the Limbo rock!""
