 I have a beta ( null ) running, its just that they have made a KDE &
GNOME theme that looks almost same.
From localization ( translation ) perspectives not change, but we
should create our own themes, to give more indianized touch.
Major new stuff is Gnome 2.0 as default desktop with Opentype support
as default, metacity window manager ( full unicode support ), Gnome
terminal based on pango, a windows kind of registry database Gconf (
this was there for quite some time , but only now its used in Gnome 2
for all configurations stuff ).
 Also new being bundling mozilla as default browser & OpenOffice as
office suite.
 Its basically for desktop users.

As such Redhat 8.0 is bit heavy on resources & bit unstable.
