CRN: Red Hat 8.0 To Launch This Month With Enhanced Linux Desktop

“As Sun Microsystems prepares to debut its next Sun ONE Desktop
on Linux later this week, the leading Linux company will show a
more aggressive desktop bid with Red Hat Linux 8.0.

“Red Hat 8.0, which is code-named Limbo, will offer a spruced-up
