Foresight Linux: Two out of three's not bad

,----[ Quote ]
| By any standard, Foresight Linux is a well-designed, throughly modern 
| distribution that takes full advantage of GNOME's steady improvements in 
| usability and customization over the last few years. It is also the leading 
| example of a distro that uses the Conary package system, whose ideas and 
| structure are overdue for inclusion in both the Debian and RPM systems.    
| 
| However, once you venture outside daily use, in some ways Foresight is less 
| user-friendly than many leading distributions.

Foresight Linux Review

| GIMP is installed, but it’s not added into the Graphics menu. I wonder if
| it’ll be there if I reboot? I did run it from the command line and that
| worked. This is soemthing they definitely need to fix if they want to be the
| easy to use distro.  After I rebooted, it was in the menu.
|
| Overall, the distro does a very nice job of picking a small amount of
| programs to have installed as the default.  It’s weird that they didn’t have
| The GIMP installed by default, but no biggie there.  It IS bad that it wasn’t
| in the menu as soon as being installed.  It’s nice to be able to upgrade to
| the latest Gnome without having to install a whole new version of the distro.
| I don’t see anything special about it make it appeal to new users that
| doesn’t also apply to Ubuntu or any of these others.  I’ll keep an eye on
| Foresight in the future, but nothing necessarily pulls me to it right now.
