Sep. 19, 2002
Red Hat 8.0 will make its debut later this month and feature a new, enhanced desktop reports Paula Rooney at CRN . . .
" . . . Red Hat 8.0, which was developed under the code name Limbo, will offer a spruced-up graphical user interface based on GNOME 2.0 with themes, improved buttons, scroll bars and menus, and updated applications including enhanced versions of the Mozilla 1.0.1 browser, Nautilus file manager, Open Office office suite and a new Evolution e-mail client, Red Hat said. The company expects to ship the package later this month . . . "

Another segment would include users of technical workstations who can consolidate their high-end CAD/CAM and EDA applications and productivity applications on one desktop machine, rather than having separate Unix-based workstations and PCs . . .
