Screenshots: A peek at Red Hat's Fedora 8 Linux

Red Hat's Fedora 8 version of Linux is set to debut Thursday, the latest version of a product line geared for enthusiasts, programmers, and Linux users who want to get a taste of what's to come in the supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Features in the new Fedora include better handling of printers, a graphical firewall management tool, and a policy kit that eases some administration tasks. In addition, Fedora 8 can more easily be de-branded so others can use it as a foundation on which to build their own variations.

This shot shows the installation of the software, which--like Fedora 7--can boot directly from a CD for those who want to give it a try without altering their computer's hard drive.
