PCLinuxOnline has posted screenshots from the final version of Red Hat Linux 8.0:

"Here are a few screenshots of Red Hat 8.0. As you can see the KDE 3 desktop looks just like the Gnome 2 desktop.. In addition Konqueror uses the same folder style as Nautilus. Launching the KDE Control panel indicated that I was in KDE as it says on the splash screen. Xmms is included but the mp3 plugin is not part of the xmms install. You can download the mp3 plugin from xmms.org. The fonts in Open Office look fantastic!"

UnitedLinux might not be very GPL-friendly

Linux 3278 Published 2002-09-19 21:01 by Philipp Esselbach 0

NewsForge has posted an article on UnitedLinux

" UnitedLinux held a telephone party today to announce new general manager Paula Hunter and talk about its open beta release. Lots of curious journalists showed up. The question-askers all had a cynical air about them, and yet UnitedLinux bigwigs didn't seem surprised by the grilling. The underlying question still: what will UnitedLinux mean in the big picture that is Linux business? Our question: what about the GPL? (Also inside, an open letter to the UnitedLinux group from the FSF.)"
