Preview: Limbo Time (OS News)
[Posted July 17, 2002 by ris]
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!""
