Foresight Linux 2.0 Alpha 1

,----[ Quote ]
| With its lime green theme, the appearance of Foresight 2.0 Alpha 1 is 
| certainly distinct from most other desktop Linux distributions. However, it's 
| color theme is not all that's unique about this new development release.

,----[ Quote ]
| Foresight is really great for seeing the latest gnome; one can show off the 
| bleeding edge desktop. Foresight also has a great out of box experience.

| recommend it to every one, coming to me, asking for which Linux to start 
| with.

Review: Foresight Linux 1.0

,----[ Quote ]
| Installation of Foresight Linux was a snap. Under VMware Fusion
| Beta on my MacBook Pro and on my Athlon 64 x2 system with GeForce
| 7800GT the installation was flawless. The graphical installer
| popped up cleanly on both and easily walked me through the
| installation process with minimal questions.

A Letter to the Gnome Foundation

,----[ Quote ]
| Having Gnome team members promoting the agenda of its main opponent, however, 
| is not only counter-productive but also reflects negatively on the project 
| and its credibility.  GNOME is supporting its main  opponent by explicitly 
| participating in the official Ecma / ISO process; by participating informally 
| at the conferences; and, presumably, by participating inside of actual 
| development. It seems that Gnome is becoming Microsoft’s  catspaw to damage 
| and slow down open source and open standards.      
| 
| [...]
| 
| For example, one high profile team member can cause a lot of trouble for 
| Gnome, especially when promoting proprietary technologies in opposition to 
| open source and open standards. Quotes like, “Time to play with C#, ASP.NET 
| and some nifty toys (you can make almost Windows feel like Linux now)” seem 
| to be promoting themes advanced by bloggers at Gnome’s (and open standards’) 
| main antagonist, Microsoft.

Microsoft's Open-Source Trap for Mono
